A railway ticket worker in London has died from the coronavirus two weeks after she was spat at and coughed on by a man who said he had COVID-19, the disease caused by the contagion, the transport workers’ union said. Ticket office worker Belly Mujinga, 47, and a female colleague were attacked by an unidentified man while they were working in the concourse of Victoria Station on March 22, reported The Guardian. Both women ended up contracting COVID-19, according to their union, the Transport Salaried Staffs Association. The British Transport Police and Mujinga’s employer, Govia Thameslink Railway, are investigating. Authorities are probing claims that Mujinga and her colleague were made to return to work following the attack, reported Sky News.
