Major outbreak of British coronavirus variant at Enter primary school

An outbreak of the corona virus at primary school De Talenter in Enter is bigger than expected, Mayor Doret Tigchelaar of the Overijssel municipality of Wierden reports in a video message. “A bigger outbreak in the sense that more than 50 people are already infected,” she says.

The mayor speaks of “great concern for the community in Enter”, also because the majority of the infections involve the British variant of the virus. This one is more contagious than the ‘normal’ corona virus.

None of the students who became infected became ill. After a contact investigation, it was decided that two hundred people will be tested preventively.

Due to the situation, Tigchelaar calls on people to adhere to the corona rules. She also asks people to get tested immediately for even the slightest symptoms.
