Over 80 COVID-19 cases in Minnesota traced to Sturgis rally: CDC
More than 80 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Minnesota were traced to this summer's Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in neighboring South Dakota, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new report.
A two-month investigation of the outbreak by the Minnesota Department of Health found 86 cases tied to the August rally, which attracted about 460,000 people from across the United States over 10 days, the report said.
Nearly 60% (51) of the cases were in people who reported attending the rally or who traveled to western South Dakota by motorcycle from Aug. 7 to 16 and who had symptoms onset or a specimen collection before Aug. 30 (within 14 days after the end of the rally).
The other 35 cases were confirmed or likely secondary and tertiary cases among household, social and workplace contacts, and were supported by genomic sequencing, the report said.
