The company also stated it has reached out to the local public health authority to investigate the staff member’s recent shifts and direct contacts.
Any potentially-exposed workers have been instructed to stay home and self-isolate while customers who recently transacted at the location are being notified, according to the statement.
Locally, the Middlesex-London Health Unit reported 10 new cases of COVID-19 Friday, bringing the area’s total to 357. The number of deaths sits at 26. Health officials also reported 10 more people have recovered, bringing that total to 173.
