NJ home health aide charged with exposing coronavirus to elderly client who died

A New Jersey home health aide is facing criminal endangerment charges in the COVID-19 death of an 80-year-old woman under her care, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said Friday the elderly Camden woman died in April after contracting the coronavirus from the aide, Josefina Brito-Hernandez, 49.

Four other members of the woman’s household also became infected, including two developmentally disabled siblings, they said.

Brito-Hernandez, of Camden, was charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of another person, prosecutors said.
