Remember the story about the Charlotte woman who tested positive for COVID-19 after she said she hadn't left the house in three weeks?
Well, an epidemiologist has solved the case of where Rachel Brummert contracted the virus.
Before Brummert closed herself off -- even secluding herself from her husband who grocery shops but is temporarily living in a separate room in their house -- she visited her local pharmacy.
The epidemiologist traced her exposure back to the keypad she used at the pharmacy.
Brummert thought she may have contracted the coronavirus from a woman who volunteered to drop off groceries at her doorstep once. That woman later tested positive for COVID-19.
Brummert said she barely had any contact with the woman and never touched her but believed it was possible she could have contracted the virus from the groceries.
"I felt a little relieved it wasn't the groceries," Brummert told WCNC Charlotte's Nate Morabito in a follow-up interview.
Brummert is continuing to recover from the coronavirus. She hasn't had a fever in more than three days now.
"It's been a horrible few weeks both physically and emotionally and I really want to move on," she said.
