Pogeez (dpa / lno) - Around 1000 harvest helpers are currently working on the asparagus harvest in Schleswig-Holstein.
Since many of them come from corona risk areas in Eastern Europe, particularly strict rules apply to them because of the pandemic.
According to the farmers' association, they are only allowed to work, live and spend their free time in fixed groups of a maximum of five people in the first two weeks after their entry.
After work, she must immediately go back to her accommodation, which she shares with a colleague, said Nicoletta Cogoaru.
She comes from Romania and was tested twice for Corona before arriving at the asparagus farm by Andreas Löding in the Duchy of Lauenburg.
After that, two tests per week are required.
According to the Schleswig-Holstein Farmers' Association, the number of foreign harvest workers in the state is roughly the same as last year.
"As far as we know, the number of harvest workers is just under sufficient," says the association's press spokeswoman, Kirsten Hess.
"But we don't know what percentage of the entry applications were rejected by the state occupational health and safety authority at the Unfallkasse Nord," says Hess.
