Toronto Public Health has ordered Harbour 60, a downtown luxury steakhouse, to temporarily close in response to a COVID-19 outbreak.
According to the department’s website, the outbreak was first declared on Monday but the closure order was made on Thursday after at least six people tested positive for the virus.
A statement issued by the restaurant’s general manager said those affected are staff members and that they are all recovering at home.
“Safety always has been and always will be our highest priority here at Harbour 60,” Kristen O’Neil said in a statement to customers that was shared with Global News Thursday evening.
“While we’ll miss you, we must do our part to ensure the public remains safe. We hope you understand and we appreciate your support endlessly.”
It wasn’t clear how many of the people affected were vaccinated.
The restaurant’s statement said it will reopen in 10 days.
The only other current outbreak being reported by Toronto Public Health involved Premform Limited/Mondiale Development Limited. That outbreak was declared on Aug. 4 and there were at least six people impacted. However, a closure order is not currently in place.
In terms of COVID-19 spread in Toronto, the latest municipal data showed the seven-day daily average for new cases currently sits at 73.
As of Wednesday, Toronto Public Health said almost 73 per cent of all local residents 12 and older have received both required COVID-19 vaccine doses.
