Whitetooth Bistro to re-open

The restaurant will re-open after they reported that their staff tested negative for COVID

  • Oct. 14, 2020 12:00 a.m.

Whitetooth Bistro will be re-opening on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 9 a.m. after all staff who were potentially exposed to COVID on Saturday tested negative.

The restaurant was closed from Sunday through Wednesday, after an individual received information that they had tested positive for the virus while on the premises.

The individual was on the premises for less than 15 minutes, which is considered a no-risk exposure according to B.C. CDC guidelines. Despite this, the restaurant decided to temporarily close and to sanitize to be cautious.

All staff who were exposed will also be taking two weeks off to be safe.

With the restaurant being short staffed, they will also be closed on Monday, Oct. 19 and Tuesday, Oct. 20. They will be open to their regular hours otherwise.
