"This Royal Oak bar was identified as the source of a COVID-19 outbreak and was referenced by officials as an example of how bars can seed transmission. Its outbreak helped inform statewide decisions to prohibit indoor service at bars (except in parts of northern Michigan), to limit operations to outdoor-only service and to-go cocktails, and to emphasize the elevated risk of spread in bar environments." - Brenna Houck
"Linked to three cases of the virus, Fifth Avenue, a club in Royal Oak, was cited as another recent nightlife venue tied to new infections." - Brenna Houck
"Oakland County reported three positive cases among customers who visited this Royal Oak bar; the establishment closed for a deep clean around July 1. The co-owner said they learned about the positive cases from news reports rather than direct notification from the county health department." - Brenna Houck
"Health officials recently traced three COVID-19 cases to a Royal Oak bar on Fifth Avenue, leading to guidance that customers self-monitor for symptoms. This small cluster contributed to evidence that indoor bar settings facilitate transmission and factored into state decisions to restrict indoor service at high-risk establishments." - Brenna Houck
"I was told that Oakland County confirmed three unrelated patrons who visited the Fifth Avenue club and sports bar in Royal Oak on Friday, June 19 later tested positive, and patrons are being advised to self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19." - Brenna Houck
