"I noted that Detroit's Marble Bar, a popular New Center spot for live music, cocktails, and events, announced it will require patrons to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to gain admittance beginning Friday, July 30; COVID tests must be completed within 48 hours, according to a post on the bar’s Instagram page that was later added to its Twitter account. The venue cited concerns about the Delta variant—saying it has proven more resilient against the vaccine and more transmissible—and wrote, "As an establishment aiming to bring people close together, we feel it is our duty to limit transmission and proliferation of Covid-19 in any way possible so that the party can continue." A representative for the venue was unable to be reached." - Monica Williams
