Large Birthday Party In Pasadena Traced To 5 COVID-19 Cases
Five people have COVID-19 after attending the same Pasadena birthday party, as authorities ask the public to follow stay-home orders.
PASADENA (CBSLA) — Authorities on Saturday were warning the public to adhere to stay at home orders after five individuals in Pasadena were confirmed to have COVID-19 after attending a large birthday celebration.
The cluster of COVID-19 cases were identified through contact tracing. According to officials, the party had been attended by a large number of extended relatives and friends, and the person infected had been coughing and was not wearing a mask.
“This is an example of how good contact tracing can identify disease clusters and tell us more about the spread of disease in our community,” said Dr. Matthew Feaster, PPHD epidemiologist. “We’re grateful to our large team of public health nurses, case investigators, and contact tracers who help track the virus and prevent the disease from spreading to other members of our community.”
