One of the locations that has a positive case is at 1530 Albion Road.

All of the crew members who might've been in close contact with them have been asked to quarantine.

That person last worked on October 3 from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

At the 2781 Dufferin Street location, an employee who tested positive had their last shift at work on October 7 from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Crew members were also asked to quarantine if they were in close contact.

You can go get a test done at a pharmacy if you don't have symptoms.
