The infected individual developed the illness on Sunday, according to the health department, meaning they were potentially infectious in the days prior.
Officials released a timeline of the individual’s movements over the weekend, which included bars, a pool and a restaurant. Backwaters Jacks was holding its summer pool party, appropriately named “Zero Ducks Given Pool Party.”
“The venue has worked with and taken the advice of government officials and management teams and will be following social distancing guidelines. Extra precautions and safety measures will be taken to provide a safe environment for you to enjoy the event,” bar owners had said, according to CNN.
