Quarantine in accommodation centers, online German courses, or even general economic downturn.
Asylum seekers and refugees in Berlin are hit hard by the second wave of Covid-19.
They are 20,000 living in shelters in Berlin.
To keep them informed, the Regional Office for Refugees has created a podcast in 14 languages to keep them informed.
They also take language courses online, but "some find it very difficult to follow," according to a center director.
"During the first wave, few asylum seekers were infected. But the second wave is harder. At the moment, we have 340 people in quarantine, tested positive or in contact."
Even those who are already active in German society are facing an increasingly precarious situation, with the closure of shops and activities reduced to a minimum.
The unemployment rate among refugees and asylum seekers rose 23% during the first wave of the pandemic.
