Public health officials have completed a risk assessment and concluded that the risk to people in the restaurant was low at the time, but we are carefully excluding this notification.
Health officials said any possible exposure to the restaurant was prohibited over three days in March. The release stated that there was no risk outside of those dates, or anyone else who went to any other part of the hotel.
