Cold, loneliness and Covid: living on the streets during Germany’s lockdown 1 minute read
By Maria Alonso
Berlin, Nov 23 (efe-epa).- With Germany in the midst of a hard lockdown to stop the spread of covid-19, the new restrictions mean more cold, loneliness and fear for several thousand homeless people in Berlin.
With no shelter in stores, bars or libraries and reduced numbers of beds in shelters to meet hygiene standards, sleeping rough in the German capital is getting even harder.
This is especially true in winter, when temperatures range from -2 to 4 degrees and night frosts are commonplace.
“We are facing the harshest winter in many years. The coronavirus is making life even more difficult for the homeless,” Barbara Breuer, spokesperson for the Berliner Stadtmission, tells Efe in an interview.
