Families with multiple cases may not be tested. “There is some hesitation in interacting with the medical community,” says Wales.
The vast majority of cases are among the people who have not been vaccinated.

From the first two cases, Wales knew “this will be big.” Two children in the hospital in Lubok have a positive test, which means that there is more spread in society that occurs under the radar.
