    • New possible exposure to COVID-19 at Vancouver bar

    The latest reported potential exposure to COVID-19 in British Columbia was at a bar in Vancouver.

    The regional health authority says anyone who was at Bartholomew Bar during operating hours on Aug. 13 and 14 should monitor themselves for symptoms.

    Vancouver Coastal Health says the possible exposures are believed to be low risk.

    Environmental health officers with Vancouver Coastal have issued closure orders for Pierre's Champagne Lounge and the West Oak Restaurant, while the Ivy Lounge in the Trump Tower closed voluntarily after public exposures to COVID-19.
