“People in close contact with the patient will be kept in home isolation and be asked about their state of health every day.”

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.

“People in close contact with the patient will be kept in home isolation and be asked about their state of health every day,” it said. “As soon as a contact person develops symptoms, they will also be isolated in hospital.” Car supplier Webasto said last month a Chinese employee had tested positive for the virus upon returning to China after a visit to the headquarters near Munich. The employee apparently infected several German colleagues during the visit.
