Even in times of a pandemic, the employer may not forcibly use the employee's private living space as office space. However, according to the regulation in section 28 b para. 4 German Infection Protection Act, employees now have a legal obligation to switch to a home office unless there are reasons to the contrary.
Reasons that speak against this can be, for example, spatial confinement, poor internet connection or interference by third parties.
