A Comox Valley car dealership has temporarily closed out of an abundance of caution due to a potential COVID-19 exposure.
In a letter posted to Facebook, Michael Marchi, dealer principal of Comox Valley Toyota said despite their best efforts, it was brought to his attention there has been a potential exposure within the dealership.
“Island Health is diligently undergoing their contact tracing protocols to ensure any and all necessary persons are notified of this potential exposure, including a letter to our staff of a medium risk exposure,” he wrote.
To keep customers, staff and the community safe and out of an abundance of caution, the dealership has decided to temporarily close its doors until Feb. 26.
“We apologize for any inconvenience in the matter but have decided that this is the best decision moving forward to keep everyone safe.”
