Bad Staffelstein (dpa / lby) – Bavaria’s Finance Minister Albert Füracker (CSU) has been infected with the corona virus – and can therefore not finish the parliamentary group retreat in the Upper Franconian Banz monastery. “Unfortunately, Corona got me after 2.5 years,” Füracker wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. “I only have mild symptoms and of course I go straight into isolation and work from my home office. I’m glad I’m vaccinated!” Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) immediately wished his minister “get well soon and a mild course” on Twitter.

Füracker had already taken part in the exam on Tuesday. According to a spokesman, he already had mild cold symptoms during the day – but all tests were negative.
