PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The City of Portage has announced that, beginning Thursday, July 30, Ramona Park Beach will be temporarily closed.
According to city officials, three members of the beach staff are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 and have been tested for the virus.
Other beach staff who have had contact with the three employees are currently self-quarantining.
Out of an abundance of caution, beach operations will be temporarily closed until the test results are known.
Officials add that Ramona Park Beach facilities will be thoroughly sanitized prior to re-opening.
The news of this beach closure comes as the City of Gary, Indiana has announced that it will close its Lake Michigan beaches for the next two weeks due to similar concerns.
