An initial investigation found that the two women were likely infected by a woman in her 60s — the 24th patient, confirmed on Wednesday, as they are related. The woman in her 60s lives in northern Taiwan and is the grandmother and mother of the other two women, the center said. The oldest woman lives with her daughter, while her granddaughter visited her on Tuesday last week after she was hospitalized. As none of the three women have traveled abroad in the past two years, the origin of their infection remains unknown, the center said. A level 2 “alert” urges travelers to be more vigilant and a level 3 “warning” cautions against nonessential travel.
