states with 173 confirmed cases, followed by Baden-
Wuerttemberg (60) and Bavaria (56 cases). The Federal State
of Saarland remains the only state without confirmed virus
cases. The number of confirmed virus infections resulting
from domestic transmission increased by 12 bringing the total
up to 211.
4. (SBU) According to the European Center for Disease
Prevention and Control, Germany has third place in the EU
