UK police quiz man over death of rail worker spat at by 'Covid carrier'

British police said officers had questioned a suspect over an incident where a rail worker died of Covid-19 after being spat at by a man who said he had the novel coronavirus, Reuters reports.

“He was interviewed under caution today at a London police station,” a police spokeswoman said.
