The infected person from the district was therefore already in quarantine due to a positive corona test. The man was in contact with a married couple from Great Britain who later also tested positive.
Man infected seven people
Due to this information and the fact that the man had infected several people within a very short time, a new corona test with a so-called gene sequencing was carried out, which now led to positive detection of the English corona virus mutation.
“The corona virus and its mutations know no borders. The case that has now been proven shows how quickly the more contagious variant also finds its way to other countries“, says Silke Gorißen, district administrator for the Kleve district.”The evidence of the English Corona mutation in the Kleve district clearly shows us that we all have to adhere to the hygiene and distance rules and that every trip involves a particular risk of infection.“
