Jannus Live will temporarily shut the doors of the Pelican Pub, the Landing and Detroit Liquors after one staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
An Instagram post reports deep cleaning procedures are expected to take two days. Jannus Live has also decided to postpone the Friday concert by Pirate Flag. A new date has not yet been determined.
“Although this staff member was not a part of our direct bar service team, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to shut down for the next couple days to sanitize and deep clean,” the Instagram post reads. “Also at this time, in light of the most recent spike in the downtown (St. Petersburg) area, we have also decided to hold off on reopening the doors of Jannus Live.”
