McDonald’s Canada says it briefly closed one of its Warman, Sask., restaurants for cleaning after one of its employees tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday.
According to the company, the employee works at the McDonald’s at 920 Centennial Blvd.

“We are working to ensure we reopen safely, as we know our guests depend on their local McDonald’s and we are committed to doing our part to help our communities.”
As of Saturday afternoon, the restaurant has been re-opened.
