A wedding in rural Maine became a "super contagious" event after it left 177 people positive and 7 deaths from nCoV.

The wedding ceremony was held in early August with the participation of 65 people in the state of Maine, the northeastern United States, despite the government's ban on gathering of more than 50 people.

10 days later, 20 people involved in the wedding were confirmed to be infected with nCoV, prompting the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of Maine to conduct an investigation.

The contact tracking team found several nCoV hotspots across the state involved in the wedding, including 80 cases at a prison 370 km away, where a guard attended the wedding.

Another 10 cases were found at a church in the area, while 39 infected and 6 deaths were recorded in a nursing home.

For the community that has already relaxed restrictions on nCoV, the news of the "super contagious" wedding is a serious wake-up call.

"I don't think they should have the wedding. We can't go anywhere or do anything," said Nina Obrikis, a member of the Baptist church where the wedding took place.

Maine Governor Janet Mills on September 17 also issued a warning to all 1.3 million people in the state.

"Covid-19 is not outside the barrier, it's right in our yard," said Governor Mills.

Since the Covid-19 outbreak, many "super contagious" events have been reported in the US, including a Georgia funeral recording of more than 100 related infections.

Covid-19 appeared in more than 210 countries and territories, infecting more than 30 million people and more than 950,000 deaths.
