אֵין לִי אֶלָּא פּוֹשֶׂה לְאַחַר הַפְּטוּר, מִנַּיִן אַף בְּסוֹף שָׁבוּעַ רִאשׁוֹן וּבְסוֹף שָׁבוּעַ שֵׁנִי? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: פָּשֹׂה יִפְשֶׂה.

English: I know only that spreading after the person has been released from quarantine makes the condition impure. How do I know the same applies if it spreads at the end of the first week or the second week? Scripture says, “it spreads indeed.”
