The man was on a ski school trip in South Tyrol with 74 pupils from several levels and six other teachers. When he came back and showed symptoms, he contacted the medical officer. The 80 contact persons now have to be tested – until that happens, the school remains closed.

According to the health administration, a woman in Mitte is also infected with the coronavirus. According to current knowledge, the two patients should not be connected to the case of the sick 22-year-old from Mitte. The young patient continues to be treated in an isolation ward in the Charité Virchow Clinic.

In the late Monday evening, the Tagesspiegel newsletter Checkpoint also found out about another corona infected person at Vivantes Klinikum Neukölln.

Another school closed due to contact with the sick

It had previously become known that the Berlin Metropolitan School, a private school in Mitte, was closing temporarily because of contact between an infected person and parenting.

The Modersohn primary school in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg also decided to stop school early Tuesday morning: Almost all parents had apparently been reached before school started, as employees reported.

The reason for the spontaneous action, which was not even found on the school website in the late morning, was the close ties with the Emanuel Lasker School – for example siblings who attend both schools. How to proceed on Wednesday was negotiated in the morning in crisis meetings between the school and the offices.

On Tuesday, the Charité will set up an examination center for tests at the Virchow Clinic location as a special contact point. On Friday, Charité board member Ulrich Frei explained that citizens who fear infection with the pathogen can turn to it. However, the Charité asked on Twitter not to visit the examination center on your own, but to contact the hotline (030 / 9028-2828) or the family doctor first.

The separate contact point is primarily an offer to relieve your own emergency room. The district medical officer in charge, Mitte, Lukas Murajda, said on Monday that it was only a matter of time before further cases were discovered in the city. (Tsp, dpa)
