Un centenar de personas se contagiaron del nuevo coronavirus en India después de haber participado, con pocos días de intervalo, en el matrimonio y después en el funeral de un joven que posiblemente contrajo la covid-19, informó el miércoles un oficial médico local.

Más de 400 personas asistieron a las nupcias, el pasado 15 de junio, de un joven de 26 años con síntomas de que se había contagiado. El joven murió dos días después de contraer matrimonio, y centenares de personas volvieron a asistir a su funeral.

"Hasta ahora 111 personas, que participaron en la boda o el funeral, han dado positivo. Todas las demás fueron identificadas y puestas en aislamiento", dijo a AFP Raj Kishor Chaudhary, jefe médico de Patna, la capital regional de Bihar.
