Richmond’s ClearOne Badminton Centre is “voluntarily” closing their doors after one of their customers was recently tested positive for COVID-19.
The centre posted on their website on Monday that an individual, who was at their facility between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Aug. 18, was tested positive for the virus.
On Aug. 22, ClearOne was notified by someone in that individual’s group, whose test results came up negative on Aug 25.
“The safety of our patrons is our top priority, and we will continue to sanitize daily in addition to following best practices for COVID-19, including wearing face masks, social distancing, and limiting the number of people in the facility at one time,” said ClearOne in a statement.
According to the online post, ClearOne also believes that a player visiting the facility on Aug. 5 had been tested positive for COVID-19.
The case on Aug. 5, said ClearOne, was reported to health authorities, but because the case was outiside the 14-day period, they were not further contacted.
The centre has closed its doors for further sanitizing as "extra precautionary" and will update the public when they re-open their doors.
