The German Minister of Health (Jens Spahn) just gave a live interview. The German government made it mandatory for airlines to keep seating charts for 30 days and ask every traveler from China for a contact address where the person can be reached the next month. The Airlines will be mandated tomorrow, but it will take 3-5 days till the new regulation for hospitals to take effect, which makes reporting "Begründete Verdachtsfälle" "justified suspected-cases" mandatory, ie if you have the symptoms AND have been in China or had contact with someone infected. The minister also took the opportunity to criticizes all this panic and conspiracy theories in the internet.

Everything is fine, nothing to do, nothing to see. What a shitshow its like the events from this morning hadnt happened yet.

This is super important. Asymptomatic infection is wild card.

> a women who visited Wuhan recently.

The German article says the lady was visited in Shanghai by her parents, who live in the Wuhan area.

That's a pretty fast-spreading virus...

Correction: the Chinese colleague was from Shanghai. She had been visited by her parents, who live near Wuhan, shortly before her trip to Germany.
