Positive COVID-19 case reported at Mayor Magrath Drive McDonald’s

The McDonald’s on Mayor Magrath Drive North was closed briefly on Thursday (July 23), after an employee reported that they tested positive for COVID-19.

The employee last worked on July 18 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and reported on Thursday (July 24) that they had tested positive.

In an emailed statement, McDonald’s Canada says its top priority is to protect the heath and well-being of its workers and guests, making the decision to immediately shut down that Lethbridge location.

The company says a certified third party has thoroughly cleaned the restaurant and it has since re-opened. However, any crew members that were in close contact with the confirmed COVID-19 case have been asked to self-quarantine until further information is available.

McDonald’s also says any guests that visited the Mayor Magrath Drive location on July 18 should follow directions from Alberta Health Services to ensure their safety.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
