The Livingston County Health Department is notifying the public of two potential COVID-19 exposure locations in the county. People who recently visited The Pound Bar & Grill in Brighton or VFW Post 6464 in Fowlerville are encouraged to be tested for the virus if they're showing symptoms.

Health officials say two patrons of The Pound Bar & Grill recently tested positive for the virus. The patrons, who visited the establishment separately, reported visiting the bar on Sept. 18, before either of them had COVID-19 symptoms. Both individuals told health officials that the bar was crowded and there was no social distancing. Officials are now warning anyone who visited the bar on Sept. 18 for more than 15 minutes between 5 p.m. and 2 a.m., to seek testing if symptoms appear.

Two individuals who visited the VFW Post 6464 in Fowlerville also recently tested positive for the virus. One person was at the location on Sept. 18 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. for a rib dinner, and the other on Sept. 20 between 7:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. for a breakfast.
