BAY CITY, Mich. (WJRT) – A Bay City hair salon may have exposed up to 75 clients to coronavirus over the past week after a stylist tested positive for the illness.
Anyone who visited the Great American Man Cave at 1900 S. Wenona Ave. from June 23 to 30 should monitor themselves for coronavirus symptoms and potentially get tested, according to the Bay County Health Department.

Bay County Health Officer Joel Strasz said the salon has been cooperating fully with contact tracing and efforts to identify anyone who may have been exposed to the stylist.
“They (the Great American Man Cave) have stepped up and their concern for the community and their clients is truly appreciated,” he said.
