McDonald’s location closes after employee tests positive for COVID-19

A McDonald’s restaurant in Saskatoon has closed after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.

McDonald’s on Confederation Drive closed immediately Sunday afternoon once the employee informed the company, according to a media release.

The employee last worked on April 4 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

A third party company has been hired for a “thorough cleaning and sanitation,”  the release continues.

“The restaurant will re-open once direction has been given by public health authorities,” the release read.

All workers that were in close contact with the employee have been contacted and asked to self-isolate.

McDonald’s is advising any customers that visited the restaurant on April 4 to follow directions from the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

McDonald’s will provide an update once more information is available.
