Chinatown restaurant employee tests positive for coronavirus
A Chinatown fried chicken and cocktail restaurant is temporarily closing after one of its employees tested positive for coronavirus.
Juke Fried Chicken said on Instagram Monday that the employee got their positive test result back on their day off, and Vancouver Coastal Health determined there was not significant risk of transmission at the restaurant.
Although the health authority told Juke it can stay open, the business is closing both its Juke and Chickadee locations to put staff and customers at ease.

The staff member has mild symptoms of the virus and is recovering at home, the restaurant added.
There’s no word yet on when it will reopen for business.
