A restaurant/brewery in Lindsay, Ont., is reopening Wednesday after all staff tested negative for COVID-19.

The Pie Eyed Monk restaurant, which also houses the Lindsay Brewery Company, closed on Sept. 24 after one employee tested positive for COVID-19.

General manager Erastus Burley says the closure for “10 to 14” days was a precaution. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit did not declare a coronavirus outbreak at the Cambridge Street business.

On Saturday, Burley stated all 25 employees tested negative and the restaurant also had an extensive and thorough cleaning.
