Baden-Württemberg wants to force stubborn corona quarantine refusers.

This was stated by the State Social Minister Manfred Lucha (Greens) on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting.

According to this, people who do not go into quarantine despite corona infection and do not respond to other sanctions should in future be able to be forcibly committed to central hospitals by the police.

The locations should be determined by the weekend.

The government is implementing a demand made by the Baden-Württemberg Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU), who had already called for this at the beginning of November.

He was happy that there was now consensus that "stubborn quarantine breakers should be separated," said Strobl in Stuttgart.

This is the "last resort for people who are not sensitive to fines".

In addition, the state government wants to include a nationwide alcohol ban in the open air in the next Corona ordinance.

This is to prevent crowds and improvised Christmas stands in the inner cities.
