The company said the restaurant at 100 Jamieson Parkway was closed on Oct. 23 after the employee reported the positive COVID-19 test.

“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 Canada said in statement.

Employees who may have had close contact with their affected co-worker were reportedly asked to self-isolate.

McDonald’s says the crew member worked their last shift at the restaurant on Oct. 21 from 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

They are asking any patrons who were in the restaurant to follow the advice of Ontario Public Health on the agency’s website.
