on Provo, some of his guests and he had indicated that the Grace Bay Club’s primary concern is to ensure guests’ health and safety, and said that a full sanitization of Grace Bay Club was fully underway to circumvent further symptoms.” In order to fully ensure all guests safety, Grace Bay Club made the decision not to accept new reservations from Wednesday May 23rd until today June 1.
