After opening briefly in 2020 then temporarily closing to relocate, AirBounce Inflatables and Arcade is scheduled to reopen this week. The business, which was originally located on Combs Road, has relocated to the building beside Save-A-Lot in the Grand Vue Plaza Shopping Center in Combs.
Steven Martin, owner of AirBounce Inflatables and Arcade, said they will be practicing several COVID-19 related safety precautions to ensure that guidelines are followed. The establishment will operate at 50 percent capacity until further notice, and employees will be sanitizing and cleaning on a regular schedule. Additionally, he said, there will be a limit on the number of children permitted per game at the same time.
Minnesotaâs first case of COVID-19 was identified on March 6, 2020. Since then, Itasca County has seen 3,141 cases, 46 deaths, 221 hospitalizations, 49 intensive care unit stays, and 9,297 first vaccinations.Â
âWhat a year,â said Kelly Chandler, Itasca County Public Health division manager. âWe did not know in March 2020 how COVID spread; now we know it is primarily airborne. We know that good hygiene, including hand washing, is important, but even more important is masking to prevent the droplets carrying the virus from spreading to others.
âA year ago, we did not know that you could spread COVID prior to showing symptoms. Now we know you can spread it two days prior to showing symptoms or even without showing symptoms at all.
