GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich. (WXYZ) — Several popular bars and wineries in Grand Traverse County are among possible COVID-19 community exposure sites.

The Grand Traverse County Health Department said the restaurants and bars are possible exposure sites after an out-of-county, collaborate contact tracing effort.

The locations and times are:

Brys Estate Vineyard and Winery from 2 – 3 p.m.

If you were at these locations during the listed time period or shortly thereafter, you should self-quarantine, keeping away from family and roommates as much as possible, and monitor for COVID-19 symptoms for 14 days since last possible exposure.

“This is a sobering reminder that the virus is still circulating in Michigan and Northern Michigan. We need to continue to be vigilant and practice social distancing, wearing a mask and being mindful that this is far from over,” said Health Officer, Wendy Hirschenberger. “Just because we have reopened, does not mean we can relax our protective actions. Anyone could have COVID-19 and you might not know because some people with coronavirus are not yet sick, and some people never have signs of thedisease. I strongly urge everyone to take precautions so that we can keep infections down and keep businesses open.”

As of today, the Grand Traverse County Health Department is reporting out 38 cases and five deaths.
