On the heels of news that a gay fetish event in Antwerp helped spread the monkeypox virus in Belgium, officials are homing in on an LGBT event in Spain as a potential superspreader event for the disease.
The Gran Canarian pride festival was attended by about 80,000, according to the U.K. Daily Mail. Maspalomas Pride was held from May 5 to May 15.
“Among the 30 or so diagnosed in Madrid, there are several who attended the event, although it is not yet possible to know if one of them is patient zero of this outbreak or if they all got infected there,” the Spanish newspaper El Pais quoted a health source as saying, according to the Daily Mail.
