German in Limburg was not contagious Interior

This has eliminated the need for contact research in the Netherlands, reports the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.

Last Tuesday, the German who lives just across the border tested positive for the corona virus. The man (47) was admitted Monday afternoon with a severe pneumonia in a hospital in Erkelenz, 20 kilometers from our border.

If the people with whom the man was in contact get complaints, they too will be isolated and tested.

The German would be in critical condition and be isolated. He was transferred to a university hospital in Düsseldorf with a fire truck vehicle.

It is unclear who infected the man, but according to the Aachener Zeitung, the 47-year-old had contact with an acquaintance who was recently in China. It is not yet known whether that person will be treated.

The husband’s wife also shows symptoms, but it is still unclear whether she is infected with the virus. We look at who the couple has been in contact with. According to sources from the Rheinische Post, the duo comes from Selfkant, near Sittard in the Netherlands. The authorities have not yet confirmed that.

The authorities in the Heinsberg region, across the border with the Dutch province of Limburg, have decided as a precaution that schools and daycare centers will remain closed on Wednesday. It is still being considered whether more measures are needed.

The German authorities also reported a first infection on Tuesday in the southern state of Baden-Württemberg. It was about a 25-year-old man who fell ill after a visit to the Italian region of Lombardy.
