Man infected with coronavirus in Germany after Italy trip – Health Ministry

A 25-year-old man living in the southern German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg tested positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday after a trip to Milan, the state’s Health Ministry said.

In a statement, the ministry said the man, who had likely become infected during the visit to Italy, had contacted authorities after coming down with flu-like symptoms. He would be taken later on Tuesday to a hospital, where he would be treated in isolation, the ministry said. “People in close contact with the patient will be kept in home isolation and be asked about their state of health everyday,” it said. “As soon as a contact person develops symptoms,they will also be isolated in hospital.”There have been no deaths.

Separately, newspaper Rheinische Post reported that a married couple in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia had been admitted to hospital in Dusseldorf on suspicion of suffering from the virus.Car supplier Webasto said last month a Chinese employee had tested positive for the virus upon returning to China following a visit to the company headquarters near Munich.
