SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Onondaga County Health Department on Monday announced recent potential COVID-19 exposures at three local businesses: Nibsy’s Pub in Syracuse, Beak & Skiff Apple Orchard in LaFayette, and a Lowe’s store in Syracuse.
The potential exposures involve two patrons at Nibsy’s Pub, located at 201 Ulster St. in Syracuse on Friday, Oct. 2 between 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Also testing positive was a patron who visited Beak & Skiff Apple Orchard at 2708 State Route 80 in LaFayette on Sunday, Oct. 4 between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The individual rode a tractor-pulled wagon into the orchard. Although they were wearing masks, riders were seated close together which “raises the risk of exposure,” per the health department.
