translated from Spanish: He had coronavirus, went to work at an electoral college in the U.S. and died

Last Tuesday, one of the U.S. scrutiny supervisors, who knew she was infected with coronavirus, decided to attend her duty as an American but without telling anyone about her new illness. Soon after, she died and concerns are now growing in the state of Montana.La, from which she has not transcended name or age, had received the positive results on 30 October. He had to isolate himself for two weeks, but on November 3, he showed up at a polling station in the San Charles count in the state of Montana. Almost 2,000 people passed through there that day. According to The Washington Post, the authorities do not want to uncover the moment or the ultimate cause of the death of the deceased. Upon news, many neighbors in the county showed their anger and concern about being exposed to contagion. Although coronavirus sufferers kept their right to vote in full despite their status, sick election workers were urged to stay home in a recommendations manual. The Department of Public Health reported that they contacted all workers who served at the same polling station. 

On the other hand, through a statement, they seek to reassure voters who deposited their envelopes at the site because, the department understands, the work of the electoral supervisor “does not normally involve being in close contact with voters, or handling iPads, handing out pens or checking ID cards.” It further notes that all workers were required to wear masks or protective screens throughout the day and that plastic separations were installed between voters and technicians. However, the director of the county Board of Elections noted that, normally, citizens who encounter a problem with their identification when voting often address the election supervisor and that this may have been a dangerous focus. For now there is no data on possible contagions but concern is growing. Remember that in the middle of the election, the country recorded records of daily coronavirus cases two consecutive days: on Wednesday 4 the barrier of 100,000 cases was crossed, with 102,831, and on Thursday 5 there was the cold of 121,504 contagions. In this way, the United States is getting closer and closer to 10 million cases since the onset of the pandemic.
