<p>Another three cases were confirmed later today, all connected to the first.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The 33-year-old man from the Starnberg area south of Munich was in isolation at a Munich hospital as a precaution, officials in Bavaria said. However, they stressed that his condition is good.</p>
<p>The man took part last Tuesday in a training session at his workplace that also included an employee of the same company visiting from China, said Andreas Zapf, the head of Bavaria’s office for health and food safety.</p>
<p>The woman, who had not previously shown any symptoms, flew home on Thursday and went to a doctor after feeling ill on the flight, Mr Zapf said.</p>
<p>She then tested positive for the new virus. The woman lives in Shanghai, but had been visited a few days earlier by her parents, who come from the worst-affected Wuhan area.</p>
<p>On Monday, the German company was informed of the positive test, and it notified authorities and employees.</p>
<p>An employee who had been at the training session came forward and said he had experienced bronchitis-like symptoms over the weekend, though they had receded and he came to work on Monday.</p>

<p>Authorities decided when they received positive test results on Monday evening to admit him to a hospital and put him in isolation for monitoring.</p>
<p>Auto parts supplier Webasto confirmed that it was the company involved and that the man works at its headquarters in Stockdorf, south of Munich.</p>
<p>It cancelled all travel to and from China for the next two weeks and said employees at Stockdorf are free to work from home this week.</p>
<p>Later today, Bavaria’s state health ministry said another three cases of the virus had been confirmed and all were employees of the same company, news agency dpa reported.</p>
<p>Authorities decided to admit those patients to the same Munich hospital, where they were in isolation.</p>
<p>Authorities did not immediately give further details of the three new cases.</p>

<p>Germany is the second European country to report confirmed cases of the virus. Authorities in France confirmed three cases in recent days — all Chinese citizens who recently travelled there.</p>
<p>The new type of coronavirus has infected thousands of people in China. Nearly all of the cases outside China are among people who recently arrived from there.</p>
