After a confirmed corona case in Bodenwöhr in the Schwandorf district, 120 contacts now have to be in quarantine. The district office announced on its side that the contacts were made in the private sector. According to the "Mittelbayerischer Zeitung", a man who had tested positive after a trip to Italy had attended a birthday party with around 100 guests before he had received his result. The other 20 people are further contact persons of the man.
According to the newspaper, the man had himself tested for free on Thursday at the border near Kiefersfelden on his return and received his result on Sunday - but he had already celebrated. He had told his host that he had been promised at the border that he would be informed within 24 hours of a positive result. Because there was no call, he took part in the celebration.
With the man's confirmed infection, the number of infections with the corona virus in the district rose from 523 to 524 on Sunday. However, this does not reflect the full scope of the case, explained the district office. All contact persons should now be tested.
