On the 18th Beijing time, according to Kyodo News, a 57-year-old man in Japan threatened to spread the virus to retaliate against society after being diagnosed with COVID-19 at the beginning of this month and went to bars and other places, causing at least one person to be infected. According to local media reports, the man died in hospital today.
The media reported last week that local health authorities in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture have directed the man to stay home after testing positive on March 4. But that night, the man told his family that he would “spread the virus” and went to a bar house and a hostess bar. He was taken to hospital for treatment the next day.
According to Kyodo News, the two bars visited by this man have been suspended, and he is being investigated for obstructing operations. On March 12, a woman working at a hostess bar tested positive for the coronavirus.
