The Health Department says these sites were visited by people who have since tested positive for COVID-19. Others who were at these sites, especially at times when masks were not worn, and social distancing not practiced, may have a higher risk of exposure.
The sites are…
• Keweenaw Brewing Company, 408 Sheldon Ave, Houghton, June 26th through June 29th;
• The Downtowner Lounge, 100 Sheldon Ave, Houghton, on June 27th;

Exposure could have occurred directly at the sites, or indirectly beginning several days later for those who had close contact with someone who visited one of the sites.
COVID-19 symptoms will typically appear within 2 to 14 days of the exposure. If you have or develop symptoms such as cough, fever, or shortness of breath, you should call your family physician immediately.
