      Yes, in my city in Germany there have been about 20 cases and then in the surrounding areas like about the size of county Galway there have been about 50 cases I think! I am still not that worried about it just because with continued hand washing or using hand sanitiser and avoiding touching your face, mouth etc the chances of getting it are as much as anywhere else in the world. I just won’t visit my grandmother until it has all blown over seeing as elderly are the most at risk!
