Fourth case of coronavirus in Catalonia confirmed
Patient is a 58-year-old woman residing in Sant Cugat who had been in touch with a person who had tested positive in Germany
The fourth case of coronavirus in Catalonia was confirmed on Friday evening.
The patient is a 58-year-old woman residing in Sant Cugat, north of Barcelona, who had been in touch with a person who had tested positive in Germany.
The first three positive cases in Catalonia had been infected in Italy: a 36-year-old Italian woman residing in Barcelona, a 22-year-old woman from Tenerife and another 22-year-old man from the Catalan capital.
Yet, on Friday Catalonia's health authorities said the situation is "far from" that of Italy, and that the number of people currently being monitored would only be increased if contagion among residents rises.
