Federal Minister of Labor Hubertus Heil (SPD) has contracted Covid-19.
The politician announced this on Twitter: "Now it has caught me too".
He went into quarantine after a positive test.
The disease is not symptom-free, wrote Heil.
However, he feels "relatively fine".
Unfortunately, he will not be able to attend the Bundestag session scheduled for this Sunday, the Labor Minister said.
At the special session of the Bundestag, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) wants to give a speech on the current situation after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Hubertus Heil wrote that he would also have to cancel appointments in the coming week.
Various politicians, both from the governing coalition and from the opposition, wished the Minister of Labor a speedy recovery, a speedy recovery and a mild course.
