    March 26: "Go 24" - Possible Cluster?

    Thought today would be uneventful... but today we have reports of a new gym incident, perhaps unrelated to URSUS or may be related.

    • Japanese flight attendant, based in HK and not flown since Nov 2020.
    • Lives in subdivided unit which has 9-10 rooms - 6 residents quarantined.
    • Vistied "Go 24" in North Point several times
    • Onset since March 18 - been to the gym between 18-24th of March
    • Several class participants and instructors have been quarantined - usually went in the evenings for Pilates / Yoga classes and worked out individually.
    • Wore masks but due to the length of stay and because exercises were involved - lots of close contacts
    • "Some coffee shops" involved
    • March 24 - Pacific Cofffee in Sheung Wan, Shake Shack (no location provided)
    • Instructors who were in her classes have taught at: 4 instructors (work at Go 24, may be at other locations). 20+ close contacts have been quarantined - their families will be sent for testing.
    • 500+ SMS have been sent out for testing
    • GO24 will email members - everyone after March 11th should be tested
    • CT Value - 24 (at community testing center)
    • Vaccinated on 15th at Sun Yat Sen - BioNTech (onset 18th - so not an issue with the vaccination)
    • Thought the symptoms might be side effects of the vaccination
    • If you have any symptoms (sore throat etc) after a jab - go to a doctor and request a test.



    Preliminary Positive: 10ish for tomorrow
    Imported Cases: 8 - 4 from Phils, 3 from Pakistan
    Untraced Cases: 1

    Will update more as the Q&A goes on.

    Would technically mean that no one under 30 can go to the gym?

    I guess we can get Sinovac at week 3 and become test subjects on mixing vaccines.

    This is going to blow your mind. She WAS Vaccinated on the 15th! Thought the symptoms were just a side effect of the vaccine. Oh well. we are never getting to 70% anyway so this wont change things too much...

    Are you kidding me, she lost her sense of taste and had a sore throat and decided it was probably a vaccine side effect - and kept going to the gym?! After Ursus?! I have barely left my house in two weeks, and for what?
