Man arrested for deliberately infecting 22 people with coronavirus, including three one-year-old babies

A man from Mallorca who infected 22 people with the coronavirus has been arrested on a charge of assault because, despite the symptoms of covid-19, he also went to work in a gym.

Police on the Spanish island launched an investigation in late January, after an outbreak in the city of Manacor, following a report that the employee "became infected but hid his illness", according to a police statement issued yesterday, "Guardian" reports.

A few days before the epidemic was discovered, The man began to show symptoms that worried his colleagues, but he did not want to go home.

At the end of the day, he went for a PCR test, but he did not wait for the result, but returned to work the next day and also went to work out at the local gym.

At work, both the manager and the staff insisted on going home so as not to infect others, as the temperature was over 40 degrees Celsius.

However, he ignored them, and spent the day walking around his workplace, deliberately lowering his mask while coughing and making fun of his colleagues, telling them, "I will infect you all with the coronavirus," police said.

When a positive PCR test result arrived, his colleagues were also tested, of which five had a positive test and which also infected several family members, including three one-year-old babies.

Three people who were in direct contact with him and transmitted the virus to family members were also infected in the gym.

Police said his actions resulted in a total of 22 infections, although no sick person needed hospital treatment.
