| description | ABSTRACT This work considers the spread of SARS-CoV-2 during a multiday intensive dance camp occurring from 26 December 2021 to 1 January 2022 in Asheville, North Carolina. Approximately 370 dancers and performers were in attendance, and the data presented are the result of an anonymous survey distributed 10 days following the event. While some transmission occurred during the time span of the event, it appears that the majority of transmission occurred either through the result of individual interactions or activities outside the formal dance event rather than due to a buildup of airborne viral particles in the event space. |
