Thousands of people have been infected by nasopharyngeal swabs after smearing feces in the child isolation hotel

According to Australian media reports, on August 18, local time, the Victorian Health Department of the country disclosed the traceability of the second wave of the new crown epidemic in this area. The results of a one-time nasopharyngeal sampling swab showed about 90% of the cases in the state. They were all related to a family of four who had lived in the Rydegs Hotel at the isolation point. All four members of the family have been confirmed to be infected with the new crown virus, but they have left the room many times during the isolation period.

What is even more suffocating is that the two children of this family defecated randomly in the isolated hotel room and smeared their feces in every corner!

According to the report, the family returned to Australia from an overseas vacation on May 9, and subsequently developed symptoms of the new crown virus. They accepted the request to stay in Rydegs Hotel for isolation on May 15. On May 18, their family of four tested positive for the new crown virus.

In the following week, two security personnel and one staff member in the hotel became infected successively. As of June 18, 17 hotel staff who had been in close contact with this family of four had been infected. Since then, the number of new cases in Victoria has increased by double digits every day. Since July 6, the number of new daily cases in Victoria has increased at a three-digit scale.

Traceability shows that the 24 cluster infection groups (over 3000 people) outside the hotel are also suspected to be related to this family of four.
