Nightclubs a hotbed for coronavirus
Some of the biggest outbreaks in the community are linked to nightlife. The most concerning took place in Cordoba, where 400 individuals gathered in a nightclub to celebrate a high school graduation party which led to over 130 positive cases.
However, overall, the majority of the new cases occur after small family reunions rather than large gatherings.
According to the Junta, 78% of the active outbreaks of COVID-19 have emerged from parties of less than 10 people.
