Definition from Wikipedia:
Ohnisko nákazy je miesto prežívania pôvodcu nákazy spolu s jeho okolím, kde sa môže nákaza šíriť.

Example sentence(s):

  • V maďarskom domove dôchodcov s 94 obyvateľmi v VI. budapeštianskom obvode potvrdili testy nákazu novým druhom koronavírusu v 60 prípadoch. Ide o druhé sociálne zariadenie pre seniorov v hlavnom meste, ktoré sa stalo ohniskom nákazy. - kosiceonline.sk  
  • Suverénne najväčšie ohnisko nákazy je Bratislava s necelými 45 prípadmi. - tvnoviny.sk  

Explanation:
"Zhluk prípadov" could be also used based on context, though "ohnisko nákazy" is more common.
