In early March, the United States Skagit Valley Chorale gathered in a church in Mount Vernon for rehearsal.
Only 61 of the 122 choir members attended the practice - but 52 of them would become infected with COVID-19, leading to two deaths.
Similarly, in Europe 102 of 130 singers from Amsterdam's Mixed Choir also contracted COVID-19, with one member dying.
But what remains unclear is how the virus was transmitted at the choir practices.
