A man in Austria has been convicted of intentionally infecting his ex-wife with the coronavirus by coughing at her.
A spokesman for the Linz regional court said Tuesday that the 63-year-old was given a nine-month sentence, suspended for three years.
Judges had convicted the man Monday of attempted serious bodily harm for giving the victim COVID-19 while they were still living in the same house pending the finalization of their divorce last November.
The defendant had coughed at the 70-year-old woman after learning that he had tested positive for COVID-19.
He was also convicted of threatening the victim and lesser bodily harm for grabbing her throat and urging her to leave their shared house.
