In Moselle, many cross-border workers are overwhelmed by the new rules imposed by Germany to enter its territory in terms of tests.

"It is no longer bearable," denounces Sarah, a caregiver living in France and working on the other side of the border, Saturday on Europe 1.

TESTIMONY

In Moselle, some cross-border workers have been going through hell since Germany imposed on them, from the beginning of March, to have a negative Covid-19 test of less than 48 hours in order to enter its territory.

This Saturday morning, some of these workers therefore demonstrated in Spicheren, a French town bordering Germany, to denounce the overly systematic requests for tests they are facing.

These greatly complicate their daily lives, as explained by Sarah, a nursing assistant who lives in Moselle and works in a retirement home in Saarbrücken, on the German side, on Saturday on Europe 1.

"Once a week for a test: okay, there's no problem, we can do it," she says.

"But every 48 hours, it is unacceptable and it is no longer bearable. We remain human beings!"

"I am over 70 tests"

Because for Sarah, the inconvenience of the Covid test is now part of the routine.

"I'm over 70 tests," she continues.

"I get tested at work and when I have free days and have not been in Germany for 48 hours, my nurse friend comes to do it for me at home."

Sarah complains, moreover;

from the eyes of his colleagues across the border.

"It's horrible, we pass limit for plague victims ..." She no longer counts the number of times she has heard the refrain: "You come from France, it is you who bring back the virus."

"To believe that we have a label on the head," she plague.

"When we get to work, it's 'Sarah, do you have the test?'

But my colleague who is German, next to me, does not need it. She comes in as if nothing had happened. Is that normal? It is discrimination! "

Finally, to improve her daily life a little bit, Sarah says only that she wants to be treated "like the others."
