Baden-Württemberg reports a first corona case. It was a 25-year-old who was probably infected in Milan. The authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia reported another case.

In Baden-Württemberg, for the first time, a patient has been shown to be suffering from the novel corona virus. It is a 25-year-old man from the district of Göppingen, said the Ministry of Health in Stuttgart. It is believed that he got infected during a trip to Italy in Milan.

The patient was ill with flu-like symptoms after his return and contacted the local health department. He is now to be taken to a clinic and isolated and treated there in isolation.

Health Minister Manne Lucha is canceling his vacation and will inform the case on Wednesday together with experts. He urged prudence: "Baden-Württemberg prepared for this case at an early stage. All the parties involved work closely and intensively together," said the minister. It is now determined who was in contact with the patient. Close contacts at home were isolated and asked about their health every day, the ministry said. The minister appealed to returnees to follow the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute.
