BERLIN — Four people in Bavaria who contracted coronavirus after a colleague from China visited their workplace were showing “very mild” symptoms, German Health Minister Jens Spahn said on Tuesday. The three other patients were being monitored in isolation at a clinic in Munich. “The course of illness experienced by the four patients in Bavaria is very, very mild currently,” Spahn told German broadcaster ZDF. It spreads in droplets from coughs and sneezes and has an incubation period of up to 14 days. German car parts supplier Webasto on Tuesday said an employee at its headquarters in Stockdorf, Bavaria, had become infected following the visit of an employee from China.
