Luca went out to his favourite bar and had a great time. Everyone was visiting and it really reminded him of going out before COVID 19 changed his life so much. Unfortunately, five days later, he woke up with a high fever and tested positive for COVID 19. Since he has asthma, he was hospitalized for 10 days and had various medical expenses for prescriptions.

Fortunately, he recovered and now that he starts thinking about it, no one was wearing masks at the bar (including himself), there was no hand sanitizer in sight and there was no social distancing. He is wondering if he can sue the bar for negligence. Discuss whether or not the bar's actions

are negligence, referring to the four elements of negligence. (6 marks - mark for naming each element, total marks for naming elements - 2; 1 mark for your discussion of each element - total marks for discussion - 4)
