> Patient-0 in Europe was tracked to Germany in January. At the end of January, was then promptly isolated and all the contacts informed, also afaik didn't have any history of traveling to Italy [0]. At that point, there were still direct flies going from Wuhan to Italy, as those were only stopped after the German case was discovered. That's why the first positive hit in Italy were two Chinese tourists, on 31 January, who had been in Milan since 23 January [1]. There are 2 countries and several hundred kilometers between the Bavarian January case, and Codogno and Veneto. While those two countries between, Switzerland, and Austria, only started reporting cases late February, a month later. So I don't really ascribe to the idea that COVID-19 came to Italy trough Germany, it probably came there by multiple channels, such is the problem with a pandemic.
