Syracuse, NY – A server at Angry Garlic restaurant in Baldwinsville who tested positive for Covid-19 may have exposed customers to the virus, according to the Onondaga County Health Department.
The server worked from 3:30 to 11:30 pm on Saturday, July 25 and from 4 to 9 pm on Sunday, July 26 at the restaurant at 29 Oswego St. The server was wearing a mask.
Health Department investigators are in the process of identifying and notifying all of the person’s close contacts.
Members of the public who visited Angry Garlic during the aforementioned time periods may have been exposed and should be monitored for Covid-19 symptoms for 14 days thereafter. If symptoms develop, stay home and call your doctor for further guidance. If you are elderly, have underlying medical conditions, or are immunocompromised, call your doctor early even if your illness is mild. In an emergency, call 911.

The department said people should continue to cover their faces in public when social distancing (staying 6 feet away) is not possible, especially on public transportation, in stores, on crowded sidewalks, or when they work or have direct contact with the public. He also advised the public to wash their hands frequently, cover coughs and sneezes, and disinfect surfaces frequently.
