Darklands partygoers reported to the organisation of carrying coronavirus COVID-19.

“We are in contact with the Federal Public Service of Health. We advise you to follow the guidelines that are made available by our government or yours if you do not live in Belgium. New countermeasures are now in place in Belgium.”

“Changes in that advice may occur in the coming days and weeks so keep an eye on www.info-coronavirus.be/en/.”

Darklands is a yearly leather and fetish festival in Antwerp. Sex is not uncommon at the event. Gay people are used of telling people they have a sexually transmittable disease (STD) so telling one has COVID-19 is not special.
