Four COVID-19 cases tied to local nightclub, Toronto health officials say

TORONTO — Public health officials in Toronto are warning of a potential COVID-19 exposure that originated at a local night club last week.

The city’s public health unit says four people who have tested positive for the virus attended Noir Inside Rebel Entertainment complex on Sept. 11.

They say anyone who was at the club between 10:30 p.m. that night and 2 a.m. the next morning may have been exposed.

Toronto Public Health says those who were at the club that night should monitor themselves for symptoms until Sept. 25, as well as wear masks in public and wash their hands regularly.

They say officials are working to trace anyone who had close contact with the four positive cases.

Toronto is one of three regions that’s been leading a major spike in the province’s COVID-19 case numbers in recent weeks, along with Ottawa and Peel Region.
