If you visited El Furniture Warehouse on Granville during the times of possible exposure, it does not mean you will develop COVID-19. The possible exposures are believed to be low risk but, out of an abundance of caution, Public Health asks anyone who may have visited the location listed on the specified dates and times to monitor themselves for symptoms.
The venue, which is the original of the Warehouse Group of establishments that bill themselves as "B.C.'s premium dive bars," has not addressed the exposure notice on their social media channels.
VCH adds locations to the list as a precaution and believes possible exposures to be low risk.
If you have been identified as a COVID-19 case or close contact, please know that VCH Public Health will contact you directly and provide further instruction.
