Well, technically, any food or grocery delivery service could have carried the virus into the house. But, Jerry Sykes did come into the home with no mask on. And, he was Tammy’s boyfriend at the time. They were eating out of the same bowl of popcorn at one point in time. So, we have to assume it is possible he passed the virus to her.
