A 25-year-old man is infected with the new coronavirus, the German regional state of Baden-Württemberg announced on Tuesday, adding that he had been “presumably infected in Italy, in Milan”.
The man was hospitalized in solitary confinement, the ministry of social affairs in the southwest region of Germany said. “The person fell ill with flu-like symptoms after returning home and then contacted local health authorities,” the ministry said in a statement.
This new case brings the number of people infected in Germany to 17. The rest of the infected are treated in Bavaria (south) and Hesse (west). The regional health services “are currently identifying the people in contact with the patient” , who will be “isolated at home” and consulted every day.

Experts fear the small number of U.S. #coronavirus cases reflects limited testing rather than a lack of infections. COVID19 tests across the country are in limited capacity. While South Korea has run more than 35,000 tests, USA has tested only 426 people
