Two Lethbridge restaurants have closed as a precaution due to exposure to COVID-19.

The Water Tower Grill & Bar noted on its Facebook page it will be closed until further notice after an employee came in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case, with the exposure happening outside of work at a family barbecue.

The employee isn’t a confirmed COVID-19 case, however, to ensure the safety of employees and patrons, the restaurant will be closed to conduct a thorough cleaning while having all employees tested.

Meanwhile, the sister restaurant to the Water Tower, the Telegraph Taphouse, will also be closed to have all its employees tested and have the building thoroughly cleansed before reopening, the Facebook post said.
