There were 14 positive cases in a brass band in Grieskirchen in Upper Austria. “All measurements were observed.”
On September 11 there was a rehearsal of the railway gang in Grieskirchen, as the association explains in a statement on its website.
All crown measurements were observed. During the summer, the music center was even “converted to make it suitable for the crown,” said President Philipp Zeirzer. “Disinfectant dispensers were then installed, distance in the sample room ensured and various general hygiene instructions established.”
However, a few days after rehearsal, several musicians developed symptoms, Zeirzer continued. The authority was informed immediately. “However, in the contact tracing procedure ordered by the authorities, the day of the musical rehearsal was no longer included (it was too far behind).”
On September 17 it turned out that there are positive cases.
Trial on September 11 as a trigger
“Since our members also meet privately, of course, it was not yet clear whether the infections dated back to the September 11, 2020 rehearsal. Only when another case, which had no contact with those affected outside of the music rehearsal, was Corona case positive, it was clear that there had to be a connection to the musical rehearsal. The authority was immediately informed by our president. “
The attendance list and the contact details of the participants were immediately sent to the authorities. On Friday September 18, all were contacted by BH Grieskirchen, on Sunday the “shocking results” were true, according to the president. “Currently there are 14 cases with a positive test in the EMK Grieskirchen. All affected musicians are isolated.”
Many “completely symptom free”
In addition to the usual symptoms, such as fever and loss of taste, some musicians are also “completely symptom-free.”
We decided to publicize the situation as transparently as possible, as rumors in the nearby Grieskirchen area currently assign us between 15 and 30 active cases.
“Risk of infection higher than expected”
Based on his own experiences, the president now warns: “The risk of infection in the life of the club is apparently higher than expected despite all conceivable security measures.” And: “Corona / Covid-19 is mainly invisible. Nobody likes to carry the pathogen with them, nobody knows until the first symptoms appear. Nobody intentionally infects others with it.”
And Zeirzer uses the case for an appeal: “Show solidarity with your fellow men. Wear a mask where necessary. Do not go to work or private meetings sick. Keep your distance and take care of your loved ones.” “
