This study focuses on On March 13, a 2-hour wedding ceremony and party were held in an indoor venue designed to accommodate <400 guests. The exact number of attendees is unknown but estimated to be ≈360 based on discussions with the local health department. We identified 350 attendees and collected nasopharyngeal swabs for reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms. Our study included persons who attended the wedding or had close contact with attendees and tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19. We collected data by using electronic medical records and direct phone calls with confirmed cases or their legal guardians. We performed RT-PCR on samples from 350 possible cases within 4 weeks of exposure at the wedding.
Hence we conclude that We collected demographic data, including age and gender; each person’s general health status; symptoms at time of diagnosis; time from exposure to symptom onset or diagnosis, if asymptomatic; severity of symptoms, if present; and outcomes for confirmed cases. We analyzed data by using SPSS Statistics 21 (IBM, https://www.ibm.comExternal Link) and used descriptive statistics to calculate means, medians, and ranges or counts and percentages.
