Hanover (dpa / lni) – Lower Saxony’s Science Minister Björn Thümler is in quarantine because of positive corona tests. A PCR test confirmed the infection of the CDU politician, said a spokeswoman for the ministry on Thursday. Thümler (51) has mild symptoms. The “Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung” had previously reported on the new Corona case in the state government. Environment Minister Olaf Lies (SPD) had already caught the virus at the end of January.
According to the Ministry of Science, Thümler already quarantined himself last weekend after there were positive self-tests within his family and himself. All external appointments planned for this week have therefore been canceled or postponed. On Wednesday, the PCR test result confirmed the minister’s infection.
