SUDBURY -- The Grey Bruce Health Unit is investigating two COVID-19 cases associated with The Pub at 1005 2nd Ave. East in Owen Sound.
There is evidence of transmission of COVID-19 that took place among individuals within the bar on the evenings of March 17-18. Anyone who was there on those evenings is directed to get tested at the nearest COVID assessment centre.
"While Public Health has directly contacted the individuals identified as close contacts, there remains unknown patrons who visited the bar on these dates," the health unit said in a news release Thursday.
Additionally, anyone who was at the bar on the evenings in question and is experiencing symptoms is asked to call Public Health at 1-800-263-3456, ext. 3000.
