Gainesville’s Newk’s Eatery restaurant is temporarily closed after a worker was diagnosed with COVID-19.

The worker is self-isolating at home, company officials said in an email Monday.

All employees who were working with the diagnosed employee are being self-quarantined for 14 days, as per protocol from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The restaurant at 4041 Plaza Blvd. is likely to be closed for the next 14 days, a spokeswoman confirmed, and has begun a deep-clean procedure to disinfect the premises.

All other locations remain open and have implemented elevated cleaning and sanitizing procedures. Condiments and toppings that are usually self-serve are now available upon request.

Additionally, team members have been informed on how to stay healthy and the company has reiterated its policy that they must stay home if they are not feeling well.

The fast-casual soup, salad and sandwich restaurant located at Butler North opened in January, more than a year after originally planned.
