An employee of the strip club is said to have tested positive for the virus, but this does not equate to an outbreak — it's possible that nobody else was infected on account of the club'sstringent Stage 3 safety protocols.

Regardless, Toronto Public Health is advising anyone who attended the Brass Rail Tavern while the employee in question was working to "monitor themselves for COVID-19 symptoms for the 14 days after their last visit during this time period."

The person who tested positive for the coronavirus is said to have worked at the following times:

• August 4 from 7:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. (August 5)
• 8月5日从晚上8点到凌晨3点。(8月6日)
• August 7 from 9:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. (August 8)
• August 8 from 7:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. (August 9)

People who visited the club outside of the above stated times are not at risk, according to public health officials.

"TPH has followed up with all known close contacts and asked these individuals to self-isolate for 14 days and to go for testing. TPH is also notifying individuals directly who provided their name and contact information in the establishment's contact tracing log," wrote the city in its release.

"The establishment is collaborating with TPH to ensure all COVID-19 Stage 3 reopening protocols are in place in this setting. including staff and patrons wearing masks, infection prevention and control measures are in place, and appropriate physical distancing measures are followed."

It looks like there will be some awkward dinner time conversations around the city tonight about where they were last week!
