After a night out at the Zurich nightclub Club Jade in Zurich on 27 June 2020, several people developed Covid-19 symptoms, according to the newspaper NZZ, reported the Tribune de Genève.
The patients were tested late so the health authorities only learned of the infections several days later. In addition, it was discovered that others had hidden symptoms present before and during the festivities.
Christiane Meier, the interim head cantonal doctor, told the newspaper that a potential super spreader should be considered a possibility.
At this stage it is not clear how many were infected in the club, which closed following the event without giving a reopening date.
Zurich has already had two cases of super spreaders of the virus. At the end of June 2020, five people tested positive in another night club, forcing 300 people to quarantine.

The term Flu or Cold have been completely vanished. I did catch a ton of flu in all my clubbin years and no one called it Corona. Now as soon as you end up with a runny nose and cough 2 days after hitting the club it’s Covid-19 by default no questions asked. Give me a break…

No, that’s not how any of this works. There is a test for COVID19 and it’s not simply “sniffles and a runny nose”. How ignorant can you be?
