Possible COVID-19 exposure at two restaurants, vineyard

The Windsor Essex County Health Unit is issuing an alert to customers of three establishments after two patrons tested positive for COVID-19.

The two people visited Wineology Restaurant in Kingsville, El Diablo Restaurant in Kingsville, and Muscedere Vineyards on August 21. According to the health unit, they were symptomatic at the time of their visit but had not yet been tested for COVID-19.

Medical Officer of Health Dr. Wajid Ahmed said they are issuing the alert of potential exposure out of caution.

"We believe that the potential exposure to these customers is likely low. However the risk for infection remains," said Dr. Ahmed. "It is critical that if you are feeling unwell, with even the mildest symptoms, please stay home."

Anyone who visited those establishments on August 21 is asked to take a COVID-19 self-assessment online and monitor symptoms closely. If symptoms develop they should contact their primary health care provider or go to an assessment centre.
