Trump's Mar-a-Lago partially closed due to COVID outbreak
Source: AP News
WASHINGTON (AP) Former President Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, has been partially closed after staff members tested positive for the coronavirus.
Thats according to several people, including one familiar with club operations, who said Mar-a-Lago had partially closed a section of the club and quarantined some of its workers out of an abundance of caution. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the situation by name.
An email sent to members said that service had been temporarily suspended in the clubs dining room and at its beach club because some staff members had recently tested positive. It said the club had undertaken all appropriate response measures, including sanitizing affected areas, and that banquet and event services remain open.
The health and safety of our members and staff is our highest priority, it read.

Report of Covid at M-A-L. Palm Beach Board of Health gave a choice: Partially close or we'll close all of it.

Maga de Lardo likely has another real bad infestation of bed bugs and rats in the five star kitchen.

Is that in addition to its infestation of reality-denying republicans?

I'm just surprised there hasn't been a cholera outbreak.

Or maybe it's the portion of the hotel that's overrun with cockroaches.
