McDonald’s Canada says it has closed one of its Martensville, Sask., restaurants for cleaning after one of its employees tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.

According to the company, the employee works at the McDonald’s at 100 Centennial Dr. N.

The person worked their last shift on Nov. 4, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., says McDonald’s Canada.

“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 a press release.
