The Penticton Curling Club is closed due to a member testing positive for COVID-19, says the curling club’s Facebook page.
The closure came into effect Wednesday.
“We are awaiting further instructions from Interior Health, but until then we feel the right thing to do is to close. We will remain closed until Monday, Nov. 30. If you have symptoms, please contact your doctor,” reads the post.
The curling club finished up the Ashley HomeStore Curling Classic on Nov. 13 and has resumed club play.
