According to a statement sent out by the restaurant chain, on Nov. 13, an employee at the 705 Sir John A. Macdonald Boul. location informed their employer they had tested positive for the virus.
“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 said.
The employee last worked at the midtown location Nov. 10 from 10 p.m. to 2:15 a.m.
