francisco 49 ers on sunday more than 100000000 people are expected to tune in and that's just in the united states for what is expected if you're one of the most tightly contested showdowns in recent years. i'm calling aspen thanks for joining us at 1st they were symptom free but now officials say 2 people evacuated from china to germany on saturday are in fact infected with the new corona virus they were among the group of more than 120 passengers flown to frank 1st on a military plane from han that's the chinese. at the center of the outbreak evacuees are now in quarantine in a medical facility they will be there for 2 weeks the infected are 2 german citizens they are being treated in a hospital in frankfurt where doctors say they are doing well. on sunday germany's health minister defended the decision to carry out that evacuation. departure and show you know we had to and were able to assume that symptom free compact treats were returning to us. they were still symptom free in frankfurt and in the since he seemed healthy. thank you patient to you means in a situation like this but what we've seen can change relatively quickly and i'm not sure exactly why the quarantine was right that some target one typing wish to try. but one of those people who was on that plane joins us now yannick device is a german student who is living in china he's now in fact under quarantine at an air base in southwestern germany yannick 1st of all thank you for speaking with us i want to ask you how is your health how are you feeling i mean this has been quite the ordeal for you and everybody who was on a plane well back. very well. probably was. everybody i know here from the german group also very well. of course this is a difficult situation for all of us. have current team nobody expected this. when we started going to china. of course we were fine we were well treated well although medical support so if something would. never to really hospital in frankfurt once that quarantine like so you currently had a german military base one of the facilities like you feel where well taken care of and how are you coping personally. well right now we're here the military base. building is separated from the other buildings we have fans around over most so there's no way that an old soldier or somebody else can join us in our holes but also we are not allowed to leave or house. because we are going to go outside but we are not pos the fence. facility here is very very good everybody else has the security you know we've gone through. it once through prevents the outbreak here also of course in the facility so this kind of is elation is i think the best opportunity to manage the extinct. tell me about the evacuation of self you were one of a around 100 people flown out of china at the time you were not aware that a couple of people on the plane were infected right. well of course this is a risk that is always there you know all of wearing masks during the curation in the plane for all the time so i think there is extent we have thick does there is not very high but of course it's quite possible. and that's why we have here just kind of courage team because i think it's necessary for us nobody can say and my healthy you know. how you were studying in new han right what was life like in the city once this outbreak happened what what did you experience. well of course i was there for healthy year at the beginning everything was starting for me it's a living city and it really new people are living there and suddenly all these $11000000.00 people nobody is at the streets anymore we do have giant roots which are completely empty malls and nobody is inside there are no cars there are no walkers or something out most the shops are completely closed. only some supermarkets are open left. off groceries and everything else that's right. for me as a student i don't have the opportunities to accrue for myself very much so 'd the last time well a lot of instant noodles and which of the bills and fruits. of course and find that i can ease no better food here now yannick i mean has those those numbers start increase the number of people infected with the death toll rose how did that make you feel how scared were you. of course it's very sad that death toll is increasing but to be honest i think it's there is so many infected people and. not so many infected people if you compare it to normal normal infants i think yeah we should be a little bit careful both is that i think it's not true mantic down advice he's a
