Seventy-two people who tested positive for COVID-19 in Wisconsin are reported to have recently attended a"large gathering".
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services confirmed it had gathered tracing data on a number of individuals who had contracted the virus, according to US magazine The Progressive. The findings came to light after hundreds of people in Wisconsin attended a mass rally against the governor's stay-at-home order on 24 April, where social distancing rules were flouted and only around a third of protesters wore face masks.
She added:"No, it doesn't specifically state that the 72 were at a rally, but this is the data we have."
