CITY OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY: Possible COVID-19 Exposure in Local Food Service Establishment Reminder- Social Gatherings May Pose a Risk for Virus Transmission

City of St. Clair County issued the following announcement on Oct. 29.

The St. Clair County Health Department has been notified of a confirmed COVID-19 case in an employee from a local food service establishment. Patrons who visited Chili's Bar & Grill, 4305 24th Ave, Fort Gratiot Twp., MI, on 10/18, 10/19, 10/21 or 10/22 may have been exposed and are encouraged to self-monitor for symptoms over the next 14 days and seek testing if becoming symptomatic with any of the following: fatigue, cough, fever or chills, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell, muscle or body aches, headache, nausea or vomiting, congestion or runny nose, sore throat, or diarrhea.

 Take extra precautions to avoid transmitting the virus to others. Individuals may be able to spread the disease for up to 48 hours priors to symptoms and some may remain asymptomatic.

The management of Chili's Bar & Grill is working with health department officials. COVID-19 protocols are in place.

The virus spreads through respiratory droplets between people who are in close contact with one another. This generally occurs when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. The best way to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and protect others includes:

· Wearing a mask or face covering when in public spaces

· Practicing social distancing- 6 feet or more away from others

 · Avoiding large gatherings

 · Staying home when you are sick

 · Monitoring for signs and symptoms (listed above)
