WORLD:

In many cities you can hear very sad reports from nursing homes right now.

In Marburg, for example, 41 residents and 32 nursing staff in a retirement home were infected.

Because all nurses had to be in quarantine, the care of the elderly was at risk ...

Martin Scherer:

Yes, it was a terrible situation.

And unfortunately not an isolated case.

We are now hearing from many homes all over Germany that there are supply shortages.

In any case, these facilities are often not very well staffed.

If several caregivers become infected or have to be quarantined, the situation can quickly become critical.

WORLD:

What happens if a large part of the nursing staff suddenly fails?
