Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Health Ministry says it now knows how one patient got the coronavirus despite no known contact with another patient or travel oversees.
The ministry now says the patient seemingly contracted the virus from a family member who was exposed to someone carrying COVID-19. It’s not clear if the family member is also sick.
