Two people in Concord tested positive for COVID-19 after spending time at a local golf course, according to the City of Concord.
The Beaver Meadow Golf Course was informed on Tuesday that a customer, who spent time at the facility on Saturday and Sunday and spent time on the patio after playing golf, tested positive.
On Wednesday, the City of Concord also confirmed an employee had the virus after staff underwent testing.
These cases come as statewide COVID-19 numbers are on the rise. The average number of cases reported in the state has risen by more than 10 a day in the past week, the fastest rise since the early weeks of the pandemic, the Monitor reported earlier this week.
The golf course has shut down until Saturday for deep cleaning and sanitation. Department of Health and Human Services employees are conducting contact tracing to determine others that may have been exposed.
“Beaver Meadow Golf Course and the City of Concord are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its customers and employees,” said Stefani Brenton, a spokesperson for the City of Concord.
