After the first Corona case was known in a Basel bar, the canton doctor Steffen intervened: In the future, the “mask-free zone” will be banned at Bar Rouge.
The number of people who must be quarantined has now risen to around 65. A mask for the Basel-Stadt health department said Tuesday when asked by the Keystone-SDA news agency that masks are now required in all floors of the Bar Rouge on Messeplatz.
A 35-year-old woman who was in Bar Rouge last Friday tested positive for coronavirus on Sunday. Her partner’s test was also positive.
The canton’s medical service assumed on Monday that there were around 40 close contacts who had danced with the woman in the “mask-free zone.” The number of those people has now increased to around 65.
