The staff member worked Tuesday and had brief contact with other workers.

“With the safety of everyone in mind, we think it’s best to play it safe and get everyone tested,” a statement from Omega read.

As a result, the store will be closed for Record Store Day on Saturday.

Vinyl will be available online at OmegaMusicDayton.com at 1 p.m. Saturday. Customers can have records shipped to them or can pick them up with the store reopens.
