A returnee from Mallorca has apparently triggered a corona outbreak in a nightclub in Karlsruhe.
It was not tested before departure.
Karlsruhe - The club "Topsy Turby" has developed into a Corona hotspot in Karlsruhe (Baden-Württemberg).
14 party guests have now tested positive for Corona.
The contact tracking of at least 120 people is ongoing.
Two people are largely responsible for the corona outbreak.
One of them was returning from Mallorca - who did not have to submit a negative corona test before her return flight.
Corona outbreak in club: Lord Mayor with urgent warning
"Check whether they are not positive after all," appeals Mayor Dr.
Frank Mentrup at a virtual press conference on Friday.
"Even days later after returning from vacation." It is still really necessary to be careful, despite the apparent security that these low incidence figures convey.
"But if all of this testing around flying is not sufficient or does not take place at all, then when caring for my fellow human beings it is important to test yourself again three or four days after the return trip," emphasizes Mentrup.
Everyone should make sure whether they got infected on the plane, at the airport or at the last party in Malle.
The mayor made it clear that the insidious thing about the Delta variant is that many infected people have no symptoms, but still transmit the virus.
In this case in particular, the corona outbreak was only noticed because one of the infected had developed symptoms.
