More than a dozen coronavirus cases have been linked to an adult club in Romulus, Michigan health officials said.

13 COVID-19 cases have been traced to the Playhouse Club, 13201 Middlebelt Road in Romulus, according to the Wayne County Public Health Division.

Of the 13 reported cases, 12 are either employees or patrons of the club.

One case was an employee of a nearby Checkers restaurant.

Health officials ask anyone who visited or worked at the Playhouse Club between June 17 and July 1, or went to Checkers in Romulus between June 27 and July 4, to contact Wayne County Health Division at 734-727-7078.

Anyone who visited either location in that window of time, symptomatic or not, is encouraged to call the health division to report the contact, get tested and self-quarantine at home.

“It is imperative all people who visited these two establishments during the exposure window call and cooperate with our communicable disease team so that we can understand the extent of the outbreak,” Carol Austerberry, Wayne County Public Health Officer, said in a news release.
