DOH seeks M&M Variety customers

ALBANY COUNTY — The county’s health department wants to reach anyone who shopped at M&M Variety from March 31 through April 8 during the hours of 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The store is located at 108 Lark Street in Albany.

This is part of the department’s efforts to track anyone who may have been exposed to COVID-19.

“If you were there, please call Albany County Department of Health at 518-447-4659,” says a notice from the department. “This time period is outside of the 14-day quarantine window and those who visited during this time period and have symptoms should call.”
