5 people who we went with have subsequently had it. The other 4 of us have been fine but probably had it too. Appears lots now seem to have had it at Cheltenham.

No-one knows if they've 'had it' unless they've had a test. Of those, no-one can know when they caught it.
I went with a group of 12 and the only one with symptoms reckons he got it the Saturday after Cheltenham - a dinner party where 13 of 25 have had symptoms.

Originally posted by Hurricane fly View PostI went with a coach full on Tuesday and 10 others on the Wednesday, nobody has it from our group.

Probably another week until horseracing is in the clear but if people kept an open mind about Cheltenham they might be asking if there is anything to learn from the apparent absence of cases ? absence of kids ? being outdoors ?
A more balanced article here
The Jockey Club has defended its decision to proceed with the Festival after Andrew Parker Bowles became the latest high-profile attendee to report subsequent symptoms consistent with coronavirus
They are still contact tracing in Ireland ...
However, to date there has been just one case linked to the Festival – a man diagnosed with Covid-19 two weeks after he returned to Ireland. He has not been named and it is unclear where he became infected.Last edited by Old Vic; 3 April 2020, 02:51 PM.
