Less than a month after closing temporarily because of an employee's positive test for COVID-19, a popular Worcester restaurant is closing temporarily again.
Quinn's Irish Pub on West Boylston will be closed temporarily because of an employee's positive test for COVID-19.
Quinn's Irish Pub on West Boylston Street in Worcester "will reopen when staff members are cleared to work," according to a Facebook post by owner Tim Quinn.
In a post on Monday afternoon, Quinn explained that a staff member tested positive "a few days after receiving a negative rapid test result.
"For the safety of my employees and all of our valued customers we will not reopen until we have a professional cleaning and test results back from employees that came into direct contact with this employee," he added.
Quinn's had previously closed for a deep cleaning on Oct. 20 after an employee's positive test.
