This study reports a superspreading event of COVID-19 initiated at a bar in Vietnam, highlighting the risk of transmission in crowded indoor settings with poor ventilation.
We report a superspreading event of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection initiated at a bar in Vietnam with evidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission, based on ministry of health reports, patient interviews, and whole-genome sequence analysis. Crowds in enclosed indoor settings with poor ventilation may be considered at high risk for transmission.
