In any case, we will bring home accompanied the employees who directly cared for the patient, Hacker continued at the press conference, according to ORF. These would be put under domestic quarantine. Three departments of the Rudolfstiftung hospital have been closed.

The patient was transferred to the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital today.

His current condition was classified as seriously ill.

The health service of the city of Vienna was now busy quantifying all contacts of the man. We have not been able to detect a single further case of illness in the group that is manageable for us", said the medical director of the hospital association.
