The Christian County Health Department has completed contact tracing and the China Pavilion has decided to close until October 14th.

Every scenario involving a positive COVID virus case in a business has many variables that affect the outcome of each location staying open or closing including building layout, ventilation, people being traced answering their phone or calling back, and COVID protocols being followed.

If you were recently a customer at the China Pavillion or at the Pana Animal Hospital, your exposure time and distance would not meet the IDPH guidelines of less than six feet for more than fifteen minutes. You should still continue to monitor your health, and if you feel sick, contact your local physician.

For more information, contact the Chris-Mont EMA at 532-9560 or the Christian County Health Department at 532-9560.
