German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said he was working from home on Thursday due to a heavy cold and was being tested as a precautionary measure.

"Today I'm working from home too after I woke up with a heavy cold," he said on Twitter, posting a picture of his tablet, cup and glasses on a table in the sunshine.

Germany's Robert Koch Institute on Thursday said there were 8,198 cases of coronavirus in Europe's largest economy.
