Rockland County’s Department of Health has published an exposure warning for two locations in Monsey, including the Atrium Wedding Hall.

The exposure warning comes after a worker at the hall contracted the virus, and possibly passed it on at two events that took place at the hall.

The warning noted that “Anyone who visited the following locations in Rockland County may have been exposed to Coronavirus (COVID-19),”:

150 Remsen Avenue, Monsey, NY
● Friday, February 28, 2020, between 11:00 am and 11:45 pm
● Saturday, February 29, 2020, between 11:30 am and 4:00 pm

The Atrium Ballroom, 401 NY-59, Monsey, NY
● Monday, March 2, 2020, between 2:30 pm and 11:45 pm

“It was previously believed that these infected individuals had not worked as caterers during these events and it was only through the detective work of one of our investigators that this discovery was made,” said Dr. Ruppert. “Any person who believes they may have been exposed should contact their health care provider by phone right away. I also ask that anyone who becomes ill with this disease be completely forthcoming with our investigators, it is only with your help that we can prevent the spread of this disease.”

The Health Department is asking all health care providers to immediately report all possible cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19) to the Rockland County Department of Health Communicable Disease Program staff by calling 845-364-2997 during normal business hours, or 845-364-8600 after hours/weekends.
