After two British families contracted the corona virus while in solitary confinement in completely different rooms in a hotel for isolators returning from the kingdom, we will now examine whether the British mutation of the virus manages to pass through ventilation ducts.
The case began on January 11, when a woman in her 60s returned to the country from Malaysia and was transferred to a hotel for the isolated.
She received a negative answer in two tests to detect the virus she underwent, and although she could be released - she preferred to stay there until the return of her husband on January 16, who joined her in solitary confinement.
At the same time, a family of five returned from Nigeria on January 21, and also entered the exact same hotel.
Three days later, the whole family - two parents in their 40s and three children aged four, four and seven - were diagnosed with the virus, and the British mutation to be exact.
The woman, who was said to be in isolation at the same hotel, was also found to be positive for the mutation virus, four days after the family members were diagnosed themselves.
The infection occurred even though there was no connection between the two families, which stunned the UK health authorities - who even issued a special statement due to the unusual case: "Following this infection, we are going through all the security films of the hotel to see what happened. Also, we A comprehensive inspection of the hotel's ventilation system is being carried out to see if it is possible that this is how the virus passed. "
Kingdom Health and Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville said "there are cameras right in front of the rooms of the two families and we are sure they kept all the instructions. its".
Among the hotel's 100 staff, who adhere to strict guidelines to avoid contracting the virus, not a single case of a verified patient was found - but the infection indicates how violent the British mutation is.
