Bob’s Lounge in Pierre and the Silver Spur Restaurant in Fort Pierre are both closed this week because of possible public exposure to a COVID-19 positive person.
In a Facebook post this week (Tues.), the Silver Spur in Fort Pierre says some staff were possibly exposed and are advised to quarantine, just in case, which creates a staffing shortage. The message says since they won’t have enough staff to comfortably take care of patrons, the Spur will be closed through June 28.
The South Dakota Department of Health narrowed down the timeframe the public may have been exposed at Bob’s Lounge in Pierre to June 12 and 13 from 10pm-2am CT. The bar is temporarily closed to allow employees to be tested for coronavirus.
Over the weekend (June 20), state Health officials released information saying an individual who tested positive was at the Fieldhouse in Pierre June 12 from 9-11pm CT and the Chuckwagon in Fort Pierre June 13 and 14 from 1-3am CT.
Due to the risk of exposure, customers who visited these locations should monitor for symptoms for 14 days after they visited. A CDC screening tool is available at COVID.SD.GOV, which can help recommend when to call your medical provider if you develop symptoms.
