McDonald’s
employee in Saskatoon tests positive for COVID-19
April 12, 2020
McDonald’s Canada says it has closed one of its
restaurants in Saskatoon after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.
The McDonald’s restaurant at 300 Confederation Drive was shut down on Sunday
and will be cleaned and sanitized by third-party cleaning experts, says the
company.
The restaurant will re-open following direction by the
public health authorities.
McDonald’s says the employee worked their last shift on
April 4 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
All crew members who may have been in close contact with
the employee have been asked to self-quarantine until further information is
available.
Guests who have visited the
restaurant on April 4 are asked to follow directions by public health by
visiting their website.
McDonald’s Canada says they
continue to work with public health authorities and will provide updates as
they become available.
Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need
to know:
Health officials caution against all international
travel. All international travellers returning to Saskatchewan are required to
self-isolate for 14 days in case they develop symptoms and to prevent spreading
the virus to others.
Symptoms can
include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu.
Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include
older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung
or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading,
experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also
recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and
maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out.
