self-isolation enforcement in Germany

[supercalifragilicious]

Does anyone know how strictly self-isolation is enforced in Germany (Berlin)?

At the moment, all unvaccinated people have to self-isolate upon arrival from the UK, but have the option to be set free by a negative test on day 5.

Anyone heard / experienced the authorities actually checking whether you are self-isolating during those 5 days??

Yes, they will.

Sounds like you want to avoid it...

It is there for a purpose, you know.

Absolutely! The Germans are incredibly efficient at this. We could learn a lot from them

Yes, very diligent about it too

Stop with the silly little 's, op. You need to bloody isolate.

Yes, they check on you. You can expect the local Gesundheitsamt to be in touch at regular intervals.

Generally speaking, breaking the rules is frowned on and considered anti-social rather than "clever". Mask wearing is also the norm (and mainly still the law) and the police will stop you and fine you for rule breaking. Two of my daughter's class mates have recently each been fined EUR 150 each for being part of too large a group sitting by the river.

Also masks need to be FFP2.

Stick to the rules please - it is not seen as a 'Kavaliersdelikt' and won't endear you to your neighbours.

In Germany I would expect quite strict enforcement and also neighbours reporting you to the authorities if they see you leaving the house during your self isolation period.

Yes they do enforce it

@whittingtonmum - Would you now?

It's only 5 days, don't be a dick about it and just stay in.

Yep
You gotta do it
Just be glad it isn't 14 days any more
