Sundance Film Festival Attendees Wonder if They Got COVID-19 in January

The famous Sundance Film Festival, which took place during the last week of January, may have been a potential hotspot for COVID-19 before the disease was known to be in the United States. About 12,000 people attended the festival, and days later, some attendees developed flu-like symptoms. The illness spread among Hollywood figures, many of whom returned to Los Angeles and dubbed it the “Sundance Plague.” Later, L.A. became the west coast epicenter of COVID-19.
