  Health officials in Germany's southeastern state of Bavaria announced Tuesday (link in German) that several new cases they had identified were individuals who were colleagues of an infected person who, according to German physicians, had no history of foreign travel in the 14 days before the onset of symptoms.
  "This virus has spread at unprecedented scale and speed, with cases passing between people in multiple countries across the world", said Dr. Jeremy Farrar, director of Britain's Welcome Trust.

A third chartered flight brought back more than 190 people from Wuhan earlier Friday, after evacuating 416 on two earlier flights.
  Britain and Russian Federation each reported their first two cases on Friday and Sweden announced its first infection.
