Fishing Tournament Was Not Super Spreader
posted (August 10, 2020)
And while those are the locations that spawned the major clusters on San Pedro, the Grand Caribe Fishing Deep sea Classic Tournament that happened on the 18th and 19th of July was not, after all, a super spreader event.

Dr. Manzanero backtracked on that on Friday:

Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Director of Health Services
"We have not been able to ascertain that that was a super spreader event. I think we are linking more to patient number 57. That fishing tournament was more than 3 weeks ago. We are looking at events primarily over the last 7-10 days. We have linked potentially 19 persons to that one cluster. We have community transmission. Right now, I don't know if it's going to make sense from a epidemiological standpoint to try to go and find out where that case originated. We have to contain what is already happening in San Pedro."
