PLEASANT GROVE, Utah — The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has closed the state liquor store in Pleasant Grove after a worker tested positive for COVID-19.

DABC spokesman Terry Wood says that there is no confirmed date the store located at 671 S Pleasant Grove Blvd in Pleasant Grove will be opened, but that it will be sanitized and disinfected.

Other liquor stores closed due to a worker with COVID

This is the third State liquor store to close this month due to COVID-19. Two other locations in Salt Lake were also closed after a worker tested positive for the virus. They have since reopened.

How To Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 Coronavirus

COVID-19 coronaviruses transmitted from person to person. It is a virus that is similar to the common cold and the flu. So, to prevent it from spreading:

Wash hands frequently and thoroughly, with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds.
Don’t touch your face.
Keep children and those with compromised immune systems away from someone who is coughing or sneezing (in this instance, at least six feet)
If there is an outbreak near you, practice social distancing (stay at home, instead of going to the movies, sports events, or other activities.)
Get a flu shot.
