The outbreak detected in a gym in Arrecife has added two more cases, bringing the number of those affected to 61 so far. Of these, 33 are directly related to sports activity and 28 are cases derived from family and social ramifications.

In addition, this Thursday the screening that began the previous day continues in all users and workers of the center, to try to control and determine the magnitude of the outbreak.

For the moment, 500 people were summoned on Wednesday and another 300 have been called this Thursday, although it is planned to continue with the tests in the following days.

The gym provided Health with a list of 2,700 people, although the trackers were refining that list to determine who needs to be tested, since some may be old customers who have not been to the gym for some time.
