Politicians demand: Germany has to prepare
Health politicians have asked the authorities and clinics to prepare for the spread of the coronavirus in Germany as well. “It is important that German clinics are already preparing to treat such patients,” said Erwin Rüdel (CDU), chairman of the Bundestag health committee, to the “Rheinische Post” on Saturday.
SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach said that fever measurements by travelers to China at German airports are not yet useful. “In principle, however, such use of the measurements should be prepared,” recommended Lauterbach. Because that could “be necessary in the next few weeks”.
