On social media Wednesday afternoon, the owners of Mojos Pub and Grill posted that AHS is investigating a possible COVID-19 outbreak at the pub. One employee tested positive on Saturday, October 24, prompting all of their workers to get tested.

The post indicates that “additional cases” have been identified among their employees.

An official with AHS told LNN that they update their list of COVID-19 outbreaks on Tuesdays and Fridays, so he was unable to say if there is currently an outbreak at Mojos.

The establishment has undergone an extensive cleaning process, but the company says they “will not re-open until we are confident, in consultation with AHS, that there is no risk of further transmission from this outbreak.”
