“Anyone who was at the nightclub during this time may have been exposed to COVID-19,” the statement said.
“These individuals should make a particular effort to keep a six-foot distance from other people, wear a mask in public spaces, and wash their hands frequently. They should also limit contact with others, especially those in health care settings, seniors, and/or other vulnerable populations.”
Those in the club at the affected timeframe were told they need to self-monitor until Sept. 25.
Toronto Public Health said the business was in compliance with public health regulations, including contact tracing.
“The ability to contact people quickly will help identify people at risk of COVID-19 infection and reduce the potential of further COVID-19 transmission,” the statement said.
