Martini’s Grille has temporarily closed its doors after one of its employees came into contact with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Restaurant owner Peter Harman reported the closure Thursday afternoon (Aug. 13) on Facebook, noting that Martini’s will reopen after his team can deep clean the dining establishment. In a written statement, Harman said Martini’s will take all appropriate measures dictated by Great River Medical Center and Des Moines County Public Health.

Also, Harman is requiring all employees to get tested for COVID-19 before returning to work.

Harman said the temporary closure and subsequent safety measures are “a precaution to keep Burlington and surrounding communities, our employees and beloved customers safe.”

“See you soon,” Harman said.
