We would have, if it were provided to us. Officials have been updating us on positive test results, but not on specific locations. Thanks for the feedback.

People who have symptoms of COVID-19 should be tested, and those who are fully-vaccinated who are a close contact of a confirmed case should check with a healthcare provider.
