Gatherings of just 10 people can be extremely risky, especially risky in hotspots of the country. In Ward, North Dakota, where Minot is the largest city and which is now experiencing a surge, there is a 76% chance someone who is Covid-19 positive would attend a gathering of 10 people, according to a real-time risk assessment tool developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
