RKI-Präsident: Gefahr für deutsche Bevölkerung „sehr gering“

The president of the Robert Koch Institute, Lothar Wieler, currently sees no major health risks in Germany due to the spread of the novel corona virus. "The danger to the German population is very low," said Wieler on Monday in the ZDF "Morning Magazine" with a view to numerous cases in China and individual cases in other countries. Germany is also "absolutely well prepared". It is important that possible diseases are recognized very early on.
How dangerous the pathogen is cannot yet be precisely assessed. The pure death rate is not very high, said the RKI president.
