One of the priority violations was classified under "employee heath reporting" with the inspector finding that "a few of the employees have not been informed they must report symptoms, lesions containing pus, diagnosis of foodborne illness, and situations of exposure to foodborne illness to the person in charge."

Needless to say, use of the word 'pus' in news reporting is always a turn-off.

Public Health Madison and Dane County spokeswoman Morgan Finke said her department was notified of a reported rodent sighting at AMC Fitchburg 18, checked the theater Tuesday, and issued five citations. 

“As a result, the inspector ordered the theater to close and provided instructions to resolve the violations before reopening,” Finke said. 

She said that at a reinspection Thursday, the theater was still trying to correct the violations and remained closed.  

Friday, with a second reinspection, all the violations had been corrected with the exception of one, which isn’t due until early November, Finke said. 

She said the theater was allowed to reopen, which it did Friday. 

Finke said inspectors plan to return next month to ensure all violations remain corrected

A trip back to 1963.

Hasz said attendance was never an issue, but the impacts of the pandemic put an added financial strain on the cost of running a theater. “It was always kind of in the back of my mind. I knew it was a definite possibility. Our attendance has always been great. We’ve never had issues with that. It was only a matter of how long this would last and what kind of precautions would need to be taken once doors do reopen.”
