In the canton of Graubünden, the coronavirus spread in a youth camp with a hundred people between the ages of 9 and 13. Seven people became infected with the virus. There are also a number of suspected cases.
The cantonal health authority announced on Thursday that 80 of the 100 young people lived in the canton of Graubünden. Performances for a final concert were rehearsed in the seven-day camp last week. The health department was informed on Monday about the new infections in the camp.
The Adonia youth camp is affected. The children were in a camp in Parpan last week and also gave two concerts, one in Obersaxen and one in Davos. Media spokesman Patic Neeser explains to 20 minutes: “There were two corona cases that have no direct connection. One of the visitors tested positive and a child in our choir. »
Moved to other camps
Some participants in the youth camp had moved to another holiday camp last weekend before symptoms appeared. The approximately 30 participants were immediately quarantined and the holiday camp was closed.
According to the Health Department, 14 people are currently in isolation, 196 people in quarantine and two people in hospital care. Due to the increasing number of cases, the health authority wants to strengthen controls in the implementation of the protection concepts.
Authorities expect further infections
The health department goes from according to Rudolf Leuthold, head of the health department, from further infections with the virus. Wait for test results from people who were quarantined with symptoms.
In addition, operators or organizers of publicly accessible companies and events had to check the correct contact data. Name, first name and telephone number must be given.
Thereafter, the data should be kept in electronically managed lists. The municipalities are still responsible for monitoring and enforcing the protection concepts. The tightened measures are being taken because there have been an increasing number of infection spots in the past few weeks – especially in entertainment, catering and leisure businesses.
