(Combating new crown pneumonia) German diagnosis increased to 99, special plane now "suspected infection" oolong
China News Agency, Berlin, February 29 (Reporter Peng Dawei) According to German media reports, as of the evening of the 29th local time, the number of people diagnosed with new crown pneumonia in Germany has risen to 99. The day before, when the German Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Mueller took a special government flight to India and returned to Germany, due to an error in the transmission of information, there was an oolong incident of "pilot confirmed infection".
According to media reports from Germany's "Time" Online and other media, as of 20:00 on February 29th, the number of confirmed cases in Germany has risen to 99. Among them, North Rhine-Westphalia with carnival cluster infection has the largest number of confirmed cases, reaching 60. It is worth noting that because the Federal Ministry of Health of Germany has now transferred the authority to publish the latest confirmed diagnosis information to the Robert Koch Institute, the above confirmed diagnosis is yet to be confirmed by the institute on March 1.
German Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn said on the same day that the situation in many European countries has changed a lot in the past few days. He has joined the French and Italian Ministers of Health to promote the European Ministers of Health in the next week. A special meeting was held to discuss how to work together to respond to the outbreak.
According to a German TV report, on the evening of the 28th local time, German Federal Economic Cooperation Minister Mueller ended his visit to Bangladesh and India and returned to Munich, Germany by special government plane. Just after Mueller and his party arrived, three German Federal Defense Forces medics boarded a special plane, announcing that a pilot who had flown a special plane for a German-Bangladesh trip five days ago was diagnosed with new crown pneumonia after shifting back to Germany, and asked for On-board personnel perform rapid detection of new crown virus.
However, according to the station's report, the special plane for this visit has not changed pilots. Subsequently, Mueller spoke with German Defense Minister Kramp-Karenbauer. Eventually it turned out to be an oolong incident: the cause was inaccurate information provided by the Federal Defense Forces to the Secretary of Defense. Eventually, Muller and his party were able to leave after an hour on the plane. He then asked the relevant parties to clarify exactly how the above misinformation appeared. (Finish)
