The Baden-Württemberg Minister of the Interior and CDU state leader Thomas Strobl is in the hospital due to his corona infection.

"Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Thomas Strobl went to the hospital as a precautionary measure in connection with his corona infection," a spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior told the German Press Agency on Monday.

"With a view to protecting his privacy, we ask that you refrain from making inquiries."

A week ago, a PCR test confirmed Strobl's infection.

At that time there was talk of mild cold symptoms.

A CDU spokeswoman emphasized a week ago that Strobl was fully able to work and was doing his home office.
