A Mcdonald’s in Kelowna has reopened after an immediate shutdown on Monday prompted by a staff member testing positive for COVID-19.
A McDonald’s Canada spokesperson told the Capital News all crew members at the 155 Hollywood Road North location who may have been in close contact with the employee have been asked to self-quarantine.
The employee last worked on Monday, Nov. 23, from 5:00 a.m. to 6:20 a.m.
McDonald’s urges people who attended the restaurant on Nov. 23 to take direction from the BC Centre for Disease Control.
