Coronavirus: Woman infects 71 people after one lift trip
Researchers believe asymptomatic patient contaminated facilities in tower block
A woman unwittingly infected at least 71 people with coronavirus after using the lift in her tower block, researchers believe.
The traveller returned to her home in Heilongjiang province, China, from a trip to the United States on 19 March – eight days after the area last reported any new Covid-19 cases.
She did not have any symptoms of the disease and tested negative for the virus, but self-isolated at home alone anyway, researchers wrote in the Chinese Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’s journal Emerging Infectious Diseases.
The woman had not taken the lift with anyone else – but her downstairs neighbour used it at some point after her.
