Actually, the 33 felt-Year-old quite well and wanted to go to work, as the infamous Corona-Virus was identified from China with him.
What followed was not only the clinical delivery and Monitoring of the young Bavarian, but also a large-scale Test of all the persons with whom he was in contact, as well as the question: Germany Is protected from a distribution sufficient?

An employee of the company Webasto had felt after a business exchange with Chinese guests at the weekend sickly. On Monday, Corona was detected with the Virus in him.
The exact circumstances of the country, informed the office for health and food safety (LGL) today in a press conference.
Thus, the Affected person seems to have in the context of a meeting with the Chinese trainer is plugged in.
The infected Chinese had only learned after their return flight from Germany in a visit to the doctor in China from their Disease.
After this Information reached the German business partner Webasto, informed of the in the district of Starnberg, Germany-based automotive supplier to both its employees as well as the health Department.

This is consistent with the Statement of the Robert Koch Institute, which evaluates, in spite of the case in Bavaria, the risk of spread of the Viru’ in Germany is currently still relatively low.
