When a person died of the plague, their corpse often spread the plague, because many times the dead were not buried quickly due to so many people being sick.

There were traveling bands of people who thought the way to stop the plague was to beat themselves with whips, and they spread the plague from place to place, because they went from town to town preaching that the people needed to repent and punish themselves in order for God to deliver them of this plague.
