A Mallorca man who infected 22 people with Covid-19 has been arrested on suspicion of assault for going to work and the gym despite signs he had the virus, police said Saturday.
Police on the Spanish island began investigating at the end of January after an outbreak in the town of Manacor, following reports an employee had “become infected but hidden his illness”, a statement said.
Days before the outbreak was detected, he began to show symptoms causing his colleagues concern but did not want to go home.
At the end of the day, he went for a PCR test but didn’t wait for the result, returning the next day to his job and also attending his local gym.—APP
