The employee who had tested positive for COVID-19 had attended the cafe between 9 pm on November 26 and 2 am on November 27; again between 9 pm on November 27 and 2 am on November 28.

TPH states, however, that there is “no risk to anyone attending the establishment outside of these dates and times.” The agency also confirms that they have followed up with all the known close contacts and asked them to get tested and self-isolate for 10 days.
