Outbreak investigation reveals sustained viral transmission in nightclub staff and attendees, highlighting the risk of indoor superspreading events.
We report an outbreak of coronavirus disease with 74 cases related to a nightclub in Germany in March 2020. Staff members were particularly affected (attack rate 56%) and likely caused sustained viral transmission after an event at the club. This outbreak illustrates the potential for superspreader events and corroborates current club closures.
