The background is apparently the visit of an employee from Düsseldorf , who previously maintained business contacts in Italy, where the corona virus had spread quickly. This employee is said to have been to a meeting in Unterföhring . For security reasons, all colleagues with whom he was in contact or who work in the same wing of the building have apparently temporarily vacated their offices. According to initial findings, however, there is no confirmed corona case.
But the increasing number of lost working days in German companies suggests that the corona virus will also have a major impact on the economy in Germany. CSU boss Markus Söder is now calling for an economic stimulus package *. He has already considered concrete measures.
The corona virus has arrived in Germany, and there is now the first infected person in Berlin. A school is closed as a precaution.
