The Monroe County Department of Public Health says people who visited the Moose Lodge on Chili Riga Center Road in Riga recently may have been exposed to COVID-19.
A patron who was at the lodge over a week ago has since tested positive for the virus.
Health authorities say anyone who was at that location on Saturday, November 14 from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m, or Sunday, November 15 from 2:30pm to 5:30pm should immediately self-quarantine and get tested for COVID-19.
The Monroe County Department of Public Health is also urging anyone who was at the Merchants Grill, 881 Merchants Rd., between 3 – 6 p.m. any day between Tuesday, Nov. 10th and Sunday, Nov. 15th to immediately self-quarantine and contact Monroe County.
County health officials say that although all required COVID-19 precautions were in place at the establishment, the Department of Public Health is concerned about the frequency and duration of visits by a patron who was symptomatic during this time and later tested positive for COVID-19. The frequency and duration increased the risk of possible exposure to other patrons and employees at the establishment.
Individuals who were at Merchants Grill during that time should immediately self-quarantine and get tested for COVID-19.
And health officials are urgning anyone who visited Pentecostal Holiness Church, 939 N. Clinton Avenue in Rochester on Sunday, November 15 between 8:45 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. , and also on Tuesday, November 17 between 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. to immediately self quarantine and contact the county health department. Officials say that several people who attended the church have tested positive for COVID-19 and might have exposed others to the virus.
