Italy first virus spread
Time: Sunday Feb 16, 2020
Place: Lombardy, Italy
Details: On 16 February, as the 38-year-old man's condition worsened, he went to Codogno Hospital, reporting respiratory problems. Initially, there was no suspicion of COVID-19, so no additional precautionary measures were taken, and the virus was able to infect other patients and health workers. Later, the patient, his pregnant wife, and a friend tested positive. Three more cases were confirmed on the same day after the patients reported symptoms of pneumonia. Thereafter, extensive screenings and checks were performed on everyone that had possibly been in contact or near the infected subjects.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
