But what is really striking is what happened then:
Almost 4 weeks after the doctor’s first symptoms, his wife, herself a doctor, also fell ill. She travelled to a hospital in Buenos Aires, where a doctor spent an hour examining her.
24 days later, this doctor too became ill.

And then there’s the 2018/19 outbreak in Chubut Province. The researchers who investigated that outbreak write that it was touched off when the index case attended a birthday party for 90 minutes while feeling sick. Five guests at that party later fell sick themselves. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2009040
