"It was a milkmaid who started it. She took ill one morning after her chores, but the milk had already been delivered. That was all it took for them to wall the place off. Plague spreads fast."

To me it sounds like a milkmaid unintentionally ended up spreading it to that particular area since no one realized she was sick until she had delivered the milk.
