In 2020, first his girlfriend fell ill with COVID-19, then he himself. On April 1, 2020, von Dassel stated in an rbb interview that he had "almost consciously" been infected with the new corona virus so that he would not have to leave his girlfriend alone in the quarantine at home. He later explained that since he had to be quarantined anyway, there was no alternative to common quarantine. He then "consciously accepted" to "quickly become infected with her in order not to have to extend the quarantine to up to four weeks in case of doubt - in the event of an infection at the end of her quarantine."
