ver uit elkaar gelegen besmettingshaarden


Explanation:
Spontane vrije vertaling! Naslag gaf uitsluitsel dat door het gebruik van ´locales` de plek (locus) heel specifiek is. Daar het hier om een virale besmetting gaat lijkt het woord ´besmettingshaard`op zijn plaats.
Webster: locale[modif. of F local,fr. local, adj. -- more at LOCAL] 1: a place or locality esp. when viewed in relation to a particular event or characteristic <the actual ~of the crime> <a healthful ~esp. helpful asthmatics> 2: LOCATION, SITE, SITUATION <the~and period of the story><a universe that has no real ~ or date -- Edmund Wilson>
