A health-care worker took a covid-19 test and then attended parties. It came back positive

The health-care worker’s roommate, an employee at the Wyoming Behavioral Institute — home to one of the largest clusters of cases in Wyoming — had tested positive for the virus last Friday. So, because of evident exposure, the unidentified health-care worker then sought a covid-19 test on that same day.

But despite a self-quarantine recommendation, the worker decided to go to a party on Friday night, Freel said. On Saturday, the worker went to another party.

And finally, on Monday, Freel said the health-care worker got the test results back: positive for trumpvirus.

I did, and I wore a mask, and it will be two weeks on Sunday so it looks like it was OK, but jeez.
