At around 3:30 pm on the same day, the ambulance service was called back to the same address after the 45-year-old man had fallen ill. He was also taken to hospital and Wiltshire police informed.
The Defense Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down confirmed to police on Wednesday, 4 July that Sturgess and her friend had been exposed to Novichok.
Further tests of samples from Dawn and the man showed that they were exposed to the nerve agent after touching a contaminated item with their hands.
The Metropolitan Police said Detectives are working as quickly and as diligently as possible to identify the source of the contamination, but this has not been established at this time.
Scotland Yard said there is no evidence that they visited any of the sites that were decontaminated following the attempted murders of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in March this year.
"We are not in a position to say whether the nerve agent was from the same batch that the Skripals were exposed to," it said.
The investigation into the attempted murders of the Skripals is ongoing as detectives continue to assess all the evidence available.
