My local German city is Wiesbaden. We have a couple of buildings around the city to house refugees and asylum seekers.

So this test came for the Coronavirus at one of the buildings, and these three young gentlemen came up positive (out of 30-odd residents and the handful of security/support personnel).
The city health authorities were on the scene and via a translator (no description was given of the three guys).....they were told of the positive situation, and then 'ordered' (it's as blunt as the Germans could make it)....to do house-quarantine. In this case, stay in the building, and in their room/area. It's a fourteen day deal and then a test after that to confirm if they are finished with the Coronavirus.
A couple of days pass, and it's been noted by the guards and residents that the three dudes have slipped out and spent a number of hours 'out' (no one says where).
So now, the authorities arrive and they dictate the new deal....the guards will now close down the entire building.....no one enters or exits. The 30-odd residents are all now stuck in the building with the three guys. The fourteen day quarantine? Fresh new start now.
No one describes the frustration aspects of this, or the happiness level with the three guys. My guess is that a number of words have been spoken, and anger is boiling over.
What happens now....if the three young guys go to the next level and sneak out again? There's supposed to be a facility in Hessen where you can actually lock people in (yeah, kinda like a detention center). I might assume that the authorities kinda worded the next step and explained how bad this next step would go.
This is the general problem with the quarantine business. A very small contingent of people simply don't want to play by the rules, and the health folks can make this pretty harsh, if you don't show some respect.
