TL;DR because this article massively overhypes the actual findings, also clickbait:
She is suspected to have infected one other person by elevator, via surface transmission. The other person then went on to infect others, one of which ended up with a stroke but was not timely identified as Covid-positive, so infected a lot of others in the hospital and otherwise.
The elevator woman was not a superspreader. She was patient zero in a cluster with a superspreader.
What's the NZ herald like in general? The presentation looks serious enough, but some other headlines seem rather clickbaity too.

I wonder who invented the clickbait headline, because I saw the same headline in a rather tabloid Norwegian newspaper earlier today. I don’t know if they got it from NZ Herald or they both got it from somewhere else. The 60 seconds is pulled out of thin air (we don’t know how long she was in the elevator, and touching a surface takes only a second), and obviously the whole headline is misleading.

NZ Herald is overly sensational clickbait.
can we label posts as misleading/noise, similar to how we can tag comments? would be helpful

This is extremely depressing.
Wow. This reads like a "best/worst of" sports highlight reel, or a Twitter challenge compilation.
