That person is now in isolation along with another staff member as a safety precaution. The strip club reopened with the approval of Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH).

VCH notified the public Monday of a possible exposure to COVID-19 at the bar and nightclub areas of the Hotel Belmont on Nelson Street on the evenings of June 27 and June 29.

Health officials say anyone who went to the hotel on those days should monitor themselves for a two-week period. As long as they remain healthy and don’t develop symptoms, there is no need to self-isolate.
