Sweet 16 Party has been Connected to 37 Coronavirus Cases
A Sweet 16 party at a Long Island, New York, catering hall is being called a COVID-19 “super-spreader event” that has now been connected to 37 confirmed cases, officials said.
The Sept. 25 celebration also caused 270 people to quarantine, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said Tuesday during a press briefing.
The number of guests allegedly exceeded the state’s public gathering maximum of 50, and there was not widespread compliance with wearing face coverings or social distancing, officials said.
