The Waumandee House published a social media post saying: “We will continue to stay closed on Mondays and Tuesdays to do deep cleaning and sanitizing, as well as everyday cleaning. We will also continue with precautions of our staff to ensure yours and their safety. None of our staff has tested positive because of these precautions. We provide Hand Sanitizer near each entrance and and use disinfecting products to stay clean.”
Larry’s Lookout also advised they are working with the health department. While Up-Chuck’s has not yet posted publicly, the bar did cancel it’s annual golf outing in June as a precaution.
