Wedding triggered surge of coronavirus cases in JordanAn investigation into a wedding-related COVID-19 outbreak in Jordan found a high transmission rate and a high rate of asymptomatic carriers, researchers from Jordan reported yesterday in Emerging Infectious Diseases.The outbreak occurred in the middle of March when Jordan had only one confirmed case, but it led to a surge of cases that a month later made up 24% of all COVID-19 cases in Jordan and helped spur a lockdown in the city of Irbid, where the wedding took place.The index patient was the 58-year-old father of the bride, who arrived 4 days before the wedding from Spain, where local transmission was under way.
