US woman who caught coronavirus despite self-isolating for three weeks believes it was passed to her when she collected a bag of groceries left on her doorstep

A woman who caught coronavirus even though she was self-isolating for three weeks said she believes she caught the disease from a bag of groceries delivered to her door.

Rachel Brummert was shielding herself at home in Charlotte, North Carolina, as she suffers from an autoimmune disorder that makes her vulnerable to COVID-19.

Because of this underlying condition, Brummert had kept her distance from others as a precaution, including her husband who has been living in a separate room.

But despite these measures she still tested positive for the virus last Thursday after beginning to notice symptoms.
