Abstract
The arrangement of hygiene standards by the German government as well as the definition of systemic indispensability ("Systemrelevanz") create disadvantages for selected occupational groups which are seldom articulated in the public debate about "Corona". How do these groups experience the crisis and the management strategies to handle it? Do corresponding issues of justice cause new social cleavages? A better understanding of these issues could help to maintain social cohesion during and after the crisis although "the virus" engenders specific social contradictions.
