The person who participated in the gathering – which went ahead as the pandemic swept the world – is said to have attended the festival and then tested positive subsequently.
The Bazique Festival took place from 13 to 15 March, in a Paarl venue an hour from Cape Town as the rest of the world came to grips with the coronavirus pandemic.
Now, it has come to light that a man who attended the art and culture event, has tested positive for Covid-19. In a post on their Facebook page, the organisers of the festival wrote in part:"...there was a South African male at the festival on Sunday between 11:00 – 19:00 who has tested positive for coronavirus."
They added:"There is no certainty that he was positive at the festival - he may have contracted the disease after the event - however, we have made a commitment to keeping our community informed and so are doing so."Of course, if you did attend this festival, it is in the country's best interests for you to self-isolate for at least two weeks, according to current global guidelines about stopping the spread of the virus before it collapses our fragile healthcare system.
