“We made the test, and the result was positive. There’s no hiding it”. “As the results became known, the sanitation services were called in. We were later also tested. They are soon coming to treat the apartment, then tests — and isolation. We could not even think that he would test positive for it. And how do I know where he got infected??
It’s not like we traveled anywhere, we were here. I would go to and from work, I would go to the store. He would go to the store, to the market, to the dacha — and that was it. And so he sat at home, a retired man, didn’t go out, we didn’t go anywhere.
