Peter Altmeier
German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier isolated himself after contact with an infected coronavirus and wrote about it on his Twitter account. Thus, there were two German ministers who self-isolated that day – earlier the same decision was made by Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.
“This afternoon I learned that a member of the EU minister who was present at the Council of Trade Ministers in Berlin has been infected with the coronavirus. As a precaution, I went to home quarantine, ”wrote Altmeier. He added that he tested negative for the infection last week and said he was feeling very well.
Earlier it became known that the guard of the German Foreign Minister was infected – because of this, Heiko Maas was also forced to isolate himself. The first test he ran showed that he hadn't caught the infection.
In March, the head of the German government, Angela Merkel, also switched to remote work. After it turned out that the doctor visited by the Chancellor was infected, she had to quarantine. Later tests showed that the politician did not get sick with COVID-19.
