Migrants and asylum seekers have become one of the most vulnerable groups hard hit by coronavirus crisis in Europe
A young displaced Syrian boy wearing protective masks stands inside a tent as medics hold an awareness campaign on how to be protected against the novel coronavirus pandemic, in a camp for displaced people in Kafr Lusin, in the northwestern province of Idlib, following heavy storms on March 18, 2020.
For Ajlouni, the uncertainty could last weeks if not months as Germany has suspended refugee intake programmes or asylum seeker hearings amid the coronavirus pandemic. Countries like France, Spain and Italy have also imposed lockdowns on their populations to restrict movements and halt the spread of the virus.
Meanwhile, people are only allowed to claim asylum at present if they can show a negative test for Covid-19 or after submitting to 14 days of quarantine. "There's disinfectant for people's hands at the entrance, but otherwise nothing much," she adds, complaining further that now visits from outside are banned.
