It's not often you see no activity at Strosniders Hardware in Bethesda during the popular store's operating hours. But the store was indeed closed Monday evening. A sign on the door says multiple employees at the store have tested positive for Covid-19. According to the sign, the Bethesda location will remain closed until all employees can be tested, and the store sanitized.
Strosniders' Kensington and Potomac stores remain open for business. This is one of the rare times since the pandemic began that a private business in Montgomery County has publicly acknowledged an outbreak.
Montgomery County has not conducted any significant contact tracing, and outside of honest businesses like Strosniders who look out for the safety of their customers, there have been few public announcements to alert shoppers or diners that they have been exposed. The only public announcements made by the County government have been when employees at their own monopoly liquor stores have tested positive, raising the question of why the same information has not been traced and announced for private businesses.

Giant Food DC giving Moderna to random 30 year old grocery shoppers
DC isn't doing better, they're are horrible. Did you see the story about the guy who was shopping at Giant and was asked by the pharmacist if he'd like to be vaccinated because they had viles that were going to go bad? They are doing a horrible job but so is MD you're not wrong. And our area isn't alone. Major private partners should be allowed to join this effort. Typical govt inefficiency.
