The German government said it was barring entry to seasonal workers from abroad from Wednesday to stem the coronavirus outbreak, potentially leaving farmers with a dire shortage of manpower to harvest crops.
“Seasonal and harvest workers will no longer be allowed to enter Germany within the framework of our border controls,” a spokesman for the interior ministry told a Berlin press conference.
The ban will apply from 5pm and will be in place “until further notice”, he said, and includes people from EU countries.
Around 300,000 seasonal workers come to Germany each year, mainly from Poland and Romania, to help with harvesting crops such as asparagus and strawberries.

Doing the work Germans won’t.
Don’t they have enough unemployed muzzie invaders that could do those jobs?
we need to suspend H2B visas here as well for agricultural and construction
America first!
“Ausländer Raus!”
Ausländer Frei!
Those jobs are beneath Muslim men.
Are the refugees going to work the harvest?
Now they need to help Greece repel the Turkish invasion of another couple hundred thousand unvetted young men.

as countries realize that their borders are very very important, One after another after another close their borders and stop allowing illegal immigrants into their country
Time was when the Krauts were made of sterner stuff.
America first!
Also H1B - the vast majority come from crowded Third World s***holes.
Wow! I didn't know that Germany's farmland was THAT productive to need 300,000 workers EVER year.
Germany must be feeding half of Europe.
lol
I know little of Germany so I can’t say much on the subject.
Big number though.
