Health authorities confirmed on Friday that two people who attended the Crossroads Hotel on Friday, July 3 were infected, prompting a pop-up testing clinic in the venue’s carpark. These diagnoses follow another woman contracting the virus at the pub on the same night, with their visits declared the “only known link”.Anyone who visited the pub has been urged to get tested immediately and isolate for 14 days.

And while the pub did have some social distancing measures in place – tables marked with signs telling people not to sit at them – she said it was mainly up to the patrons to ensure they were physically distanced from each other.
