Starting from the city of Wuhan, acute respiratory illnesses have been occurring in China since December 2019 caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The coronavirus has meanwhile reached all federal states in Germany and is spreading further. Nationwide university/school closures are not planned, the number of infections is now clearly rising, and a worldwide spread of the pathogen is to be expected. The Robert Koch Institute currently assesses the danger to health as moderate.
