Outbreak that led to 15 people testing positive traced back to a birthday party thrown for cat

An outbreak that led to 15 people testing positive for COVID-19 has been traced back to a birthday party thrown for a cat.

Ten people who attended the feline fiesta contracted the deadly virus, along with 5 friends and family members of the cat’s owner, reported the Daily Mail.

The birthday puss did not contract the disease, the outlet noted.

The super-spreader event was held in Santo Domingo, Chile.

Chilean authorities were shocked when they learned of the source of the outbreak while delivering a public statement on Friday.

A normal person will drink because it's their birthday. An alcoholic will drink because it's the cat's birthday.
