McDonald’s Canada said both locations will undergo a thorough cleaning before they reopen.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the decision was made to immediately shut down the restaurant for a thorough cleaning and sanitization by a certified third party,” McDonald’s wrote in a news release.
“We are working to ensure our timeline to reopen happens as quickly and safely as possible, as we know our guests depend on their local McDonald’s and we are committed to doing our part to help our communities.”
Last Sunday, a McDonald’s on St. Albert Trail was also shut down after an employee there reported testing positive for the novel coronavirus.
