“super contaminator” goes to nightclub, 300 people placed in quarantine

It is capable of infecting dozens of people, even hundreds. This is called a “super-contaminator”, or “superspreader” in English. Doctors have a hard time explaining why it is more contagious than the average, but the fact is there. So when this man finds himself in the presence of 300 people in a closed place, he becomes a real time bomb.

This is what happened in Switzerland, in the canton of Zurich. Tested positive for covid-19 on June 25, he had gone to the Flamingo Club, a nightclub, four days before, with five of his friends, all of whom had tested positive since.

Alerted, the Zurich authorities did not skimp on the precautionary measures. All the disco’s customers, present the same evening, were informed of the situation and asked to isolate themselves for ten days. In total, 300 people, revelers, bartenders and bouncers, are affected.

“These measures aim to interrupt the chains of infection, so that the coronavirus cannot spread,” wrote the medical service of the canton of Zurich. He appealed to “personal responsibility” and asked the people of Zurich to avoid gatherings. The Swiss authorities also warn that “in the event of new oversized events, club closings should be considered”.
