Precisely.
Dude had sore throat and fever. Sore throat is usually from postnasal drip. IIRC he ran a low fever. Took it easy over the weekend, felt fine Monday morning and returned to work. Still with an enormous viral load and shedding like mad apparently. Once German health authorities caught up with him they tested him and promptly quarantined him.
