HOLLIDAYSBURG — The Blair Regional YMCA is closed until 5 a.m. Thursday after being notified that some members of the facility tested positive for COVID-19.

The YMCA Early Learning Center in front of the Frankstown Elementary School remains open.

The YMCA posted the notice of the immediate closure on its website.

The YMCA said it understands the individuals testing positive for the coronavirus were at the facility between 6:45 and 8:30 p.m. July 20 and 21 and between 4:15 and 6:30 p.m. July 23.
