According to a Facebook post from The Table, a well-known restaurant in Downtown DeLand, the local eatery will be temporarily closed starting Tuesday due to an employee testing positive for COVID-19.

The COVID positive employee of The Table is experiencing mild symptoms and is taking things easy at home.

Restaurant owners decided to close the restaurant temporarily for deep cleaning measures and to send staff for testing.

The goal of the restaurant is to re-open on Friday pending negative results from all staff.

Upon re-opening, the staff will continue to be screened daily, maintain frequent sanitation procedures, and add extra steps to keep patrons and team members safe.

“The Safety of our guests and team members is our top priority,” said the restaurant in their Facebook post. “We appreciate your patience and understanding.”

News Editor, Kristen Schmutz, reached out to The Table for further comment on the closure but has yet to hear back at the time of publication.
