Noah's Ark closed until further notice after two employees test positive for COVID-19 [View all]
Noah's Ark Waterpark, which fired its general manager last month after he called COVID-19 a "phantom China virus" and a proposed mask requirement unconstitutional, closed until further notice Saturday after two employees tested positive for the virus.
The popular Wisconsin Dells attraction announced the decision on its website at www.noahsarkwaterpark.com and said it will be working closely with the Sauk County Health Department and other experts on how to move forward.
"The first and foremost priority of Noahs Ark is the health and safety of our Guests and Team Members," the statement said.
The closure came as a statewide mask mandate took effect Saturday and state health officials reported 1,062 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 13 coronavirus-related deaths.
