Ajisen Ramen restaurant in Dededo was closed Thursday because of a rodent infestation/imminent health hazard, according to a Department of Public Health and Social Services inspection report.
The restaurant was inspected as a result of a complaint that a rat ran into dining area while customer was eating, according to the report. Employees saw the rat between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Evidence of rodent activity was observed to support the complaint during the inspection. Based on observations and evidence, it appears that there is an active rodent infestation in the establishment, which constitutes an imminent health hazard, inspectors wrote in the report.
OSWEGO COUNTY â Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang announced Tuesday, April 27, that 40 additional residents tested positive for COVID-19. This brings the total cumulative number of positive cases since the county began monitoring for COVID-19 in March 2020 to 7,626. There are currently 212 active positive cases.
âAlthough nearly 40% of our residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine and the seven-day accumulated positive case counts are at the lowest point in the last six weeks, we continue to fluctuate between the CDCâs âhighâ and âsignificantâ community transmission levels,â Huang said. âIn addition, todayâs new case count is 40, the highest in the last five weeks. These things show us that, while weâve made some progress, we need to keep working on reducing transmission in our communities.â
