A 54-year-old woman in Austria has been convicted of grossly negligent homicide for fatally infecting her neighbor with COVID-19, marking her second pandemic-related conviction in a year. She received a four-month suspended sentence and an 800-euro fine after a virological report confirmed that the virus DNA matched both her and the deceased, a cancer patient who died of pneumonia caused by the virus. The incident occurred on December 21, 2021, when the victim's family claimed the woman was aware of her COVID-19 status but denied contact, asserting she was too ill to leave her bed. Despite her denial, the judge noted the expert testimony indicating near certainty of transmission, expressing sympathy for her situation but emphasizing the weight of the evidence. This woman had previously been convicted for intentionally endangering others with communicable diseases. The case highlights issues of personal responsibility during the pandemic and is not yet final due to ongoing legal processes.
