Nobody expected these effects: After a high school graduation party in Elmshorn got out of hand, further corona cases became known in this context.
After the Abitur party in an Elmshorn discotheque, the Pinneberg district has now confirmed ten corona cases. In addition, three other people in the vicinity of the visitors were verifiably infected. The team from the health department has spoken to around 800 people who registered or reported on their own since the first known corona infection after the party.
How many guests were there is unclear
The Abitur party on August 20th in the Elmshorn “Duplex” had gotten out of hand. According to the club’s operator, Jimmy Krasniqi, 250 guests were allowed because it was a closed event. But according to information from NDR Schleswig-Holstein, around three times as many people registered for the celebration via the Luca app. How many were actually in the disco at the same time is unclear. Further investigations into the party are still ongoing.
No distance, no masks
Despite being asked to do so, according to Krasniqi, the celebrants often did not adhere to distance regulations or the requirement to wear a mask. His team “lost the thread”. The young guests only reacted briefly to announcements from security staff. According to current rules, 125 people are allowed to party in discos at the same time. Mask requirements and distance rules apply on the dance floor. 3G rules must be checked at the entrance.
