This rule of dil has become spains new corbet 1000 hot spot thousands of people have contracted the virus here and they gave our region many of them harvest workers go google came to spain from senegal more than 10 years ago since then he has worked on these orchards every summer but he has never seen a season like this book a book. First i was afraid there was a lot of fear but our boss quickly introduced rules among other things everyone must wear gloves and masks we just have to follow them now. The local hospital has set up a dedicated coronavirus ward it is nearing capacity local governments and courts are currently debating the introduction of a curfew many residents blame mostly african Migrant Workers for the outbreak thousands came to gaydar in early summer at the beginning of the harvest season. Or it is clearly Seasonal Workers who are to blame they come here to make money they dont care about anything else only work. They always move from place to place and some violate quarantine rules many also do not adhere to the applicable hygiene measures and. Other more understands the concern of the locals the Seasonal Workers spends almost every lunch break here in his regular cafe for him the problem is mainly due to the miserable conditions in which he and his colleagues have to live often there are up to 10 of them sleeping in one room and the guinea and says something many elsewhere on building to say that many work without a contract and are defenseless.

The local government and has for a long time promised to deal with the problem however nobody has time for interview. One of the main groups affected by the corona virus outbreak. People that officially dont exist its been an open secret for many years that many farms in the region rely on irregular migrants to cut salary costs in times of the coronavirus this strategy seems to backfire for horse work ogogo give our working with a mask and gloves in the midday sun its becoming increasingly hard but the boss who comes to check insists nobody works in his speech fields without a contract he insists thats possibly a reason why there hasnt been a single case of cold feet 19 here and for the shows filed that report for us lets bring him in and philip im sure people will be asking how did you actually get into a place under lockdown. Well getting into the place was actually not so difficult the city has been under current scene for a week now but the trains still operates what was more difficult was while i was there the local government announced a very Strict Lockdown but in the same night doing the same night judge overturns the decision so the situation was very confusing and nobody really knew what was going on but the most difficult part was actually getting out of the city again this morning train station was completely shut off there were a lot of policemen guarding the train station and to it took me a lot of time and i to present a lot of paper from w. My past part and my journalistic retaliation. To. Go out of the city and to write i can watch it until youre out now it looks like you say could something good come out of this could the coronavirus change the conditions things work because for example a counter in that region. Situation at the moment of course is extremely difficult but i think that could actually come something good out of it i think everybody has understood you know thats the way of doing business at the moment and especially. Employ. Workers very sustainable and in times of the corona virus actually involves a lot of risks now the defenders of this concept that say at least gives some people without papers the opportunity to have some income but personally i think. The ones that benefit most from the ruthless business men that exploits the work us so i think something good could come out of that but i think we also have to be open to the discussion that in the future we might have to pay more for vegetables and fruits quite similar discussion to the ones to the one we having at the moment regarding Meat Processing industry.

D. P.

S. Is chinas biggest export market relations between china and the u. S.
