A stranger later tested positive for the virus, officials said, adding that they were responsible for “superspader actions.”
According to the Washington Post, Douglas County Public Health Officer Bob Dennehoffer said in a statement Thursday that one of the outbreaks has killed seven, and more than 30,000 people / families have been quarantined since the other outbreak. “We can’t even imagine the tremendous remorse these people have just experienced, and we sympathize with them.”
“In addition to super spreader events, we also have super spreader actions. This is one of the issues we are facing right now, ”he added. “At the top of the list for super spreader actions are people who choose to go to work when they are inadvertently and unintentionally ill.”
Seventy people have died in the county since the epidemic began, while 1,347 people have died in the state. Douglas County is one of 29 jurisdictions that state officials consider an “extreme risk” due to the virus, and the number of deaths of seven people in an outbreak is about 20 percent of all coronavirus deaths reported in the county.
