“This notice is being sent because of the difficulty in identifying customers during the time period the person was pre-symptomatic or symptomatic,” the news release said.

People who were at the store anytime April 1, 2 and 3 between 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and begin to experience symptoms should stay home and stay away from others in the home, Shutt said.

“Most people do not need a test,” Shutt said in the release.
