An employee who works at two Newmarket McDonald's restaurants has tested positive for COVID-19.
McDonald's restaurants at 17940 Yonge St. in the Walmart Supercentre and 17760 Yonge St. at Kingston Road were immediately closed for thorough cleaning and sanitization by a certified third party when the employee reported the positive test results on Oct. 1, according to company spokesperson Ryma Boussoufa.
The company statement released Thursday evening stated all staff members who may have been in contact with the employee have been asked to self-quarantine.
The employee last worked at the location at 17940 Yonge on Sept. 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 3 to 11 p.m. on Sept. 28 at the location at 17760 Yonge.
McDonald's Canada is advising any customers who visited either location on those days to take direction from Ontario Public Health.
