"It was love that brought me here. I'm having the pandemic of my life!" says the 36-year-old while standing in Hamburg's central vaccination centre.

She smiles behind the FFP2 mask as she talks about the man in her life, an event technician who also works in the Kiez. He's the one who encouraged and helped her to find other jobs when the coronavirus crisis suddenly put an end to her normal life.

"I started last year in spring as an asparagus picker when the harvest helpers couldn't come," Eve says. Then her boyfriend got her a job as a courier for coronavirus tests from Berlin to Hamburg.
