Multiple high school wrestling tournaments become COVID-19 super spreader events

Two high school wrestling tournaments in Florida have been deemed as COVID-19 super spreaders. The CDC has released an in-depth report that links at least 79 cases and one death to the tournaments that happened in Polk Country, Florida.

According to the report, 10 high schools from three counties participated on the two wrestling tournaments on December 5 and 6. 130 wrestlers, coaches and referees attended. After tracing, an additional 446 people were determined to have “close contact.”

There were at least 79 confirmed cases, but the real total could be much higher as only a small portion had been tested.
