The liveries closed on July 7 after the city was notified that an employee had tested positive for COVID-19. On July 9, the city notified the public of a second employee who tested positive. The employees were acquaintances outside of their work at the liveries.

The instance was deemed a “low-risk event” by the Washtenaw County Health Department and possible exposure dates were narrowed to July 3-5.
