The study on a superspreading event at a fitness center in Hong Kong highlighted the risk of virus transmission in confined spaces with poor ventilation and limited public health interventions. Through genomic sequencing analysis, the research confirmed the importance of addressing these factors to prevent future outbreaks.
To investigate a superspreading event at a fitness center in Hong Kong, China, we used genomic sequencing to analyze 102 reverse transcription PCR-confirmed cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Our finding highlights the risk for virus transmission in confined spaces with poor ventilation and limited public health interventions.
