A spin class. One COVID-19 positive participant with no symptoms. 51 cases.

It is believed to be one of the largest COVID-19 outbreaks at any fitness centre in Canada, and could get even worse. http://torstar.co/pARp50BR61w ">https://torstar.co/pARp50BR6...

So far, 37 riders and two staff members have tested positive for novel coronavirus. 11additional secondary “household-spread” cases — exposures to contacts outside the studio, like family and friends of patrons — are also tied to the outbreak. http://torstar.co/pARp50BR61w ">https://torstar.co/pARp50BR6...

Public health officials have warned that “potentially 100” SpinCo riders and secondary contacts may have been exposed to coronavirus. http://torstar.co/pARp50BR61w ">https://torstar.co/pARp50BR6...

It is what infectious disease experts consider a “superspreader” event — a chain reaction of infections set off by a lone case who excretes a higher than normal number of pathogens during their incubation period. http://torstar.co/pARp50BR61w ">https://torstar.co/pARp50BR6...

Co-owners Naz Zarezadegan and Ira Price said the studio was recently informed by public health that “patient zero displayed no symptoms.”
