The “Kapitel Bollwerk” club in Bern was closed on Saturday at 11 pm by order of the Cantonal Doctor’s Office. It will probably remain closed for ten days. Several people who visited the establishment have tested positive for Covid-19.
The Directorate of Health, Social Affairs and Integration of the Canton of Bern had already announced Friday that 305 people had been placed in quarantine after a person who attended the club last weekend tested positive for Covid-19. In a statement released overnight from Saturday to Sunday, Management indicates that two other people who attended the club on July 18 have tested positive.
One of those people also visited the facility on Thursday. As she had already had symptoms before, she was contagious at the time, the statement said. Those responsible for tracing the contacts received the list of some 140 people present in the club on Thursday. They were warned in writing overnight and will be contacted by phone on Sunday, adds the Health Directorate.
The latter explains that the Office of the Cantonal Doctor has ordered the closure of the “Kapitel Bollwerk” in order to interrupt the transmission chains.
