Marion’s CEO Roger Glass said plans call for reopening the Beavercreek location on Monday, Aug. 3, but at least initially, only curbside pick-up and DoorDash delivery will be offered at the Beavercreek location. The restaurant’s dining room will reopen later, Marion’s officials said.
Marion’s is the most recent local restaurant or restaurant chain to deal with a situation of one or more employees testing positive for COVID-19.
According to “Responsible Restart Ohio” protocols created by state health officials and Gov. Mike DeWine, it is mandatory for bars and restaurants to “immediately isolate and seek medical care for any individual who develops symptoms while at work, contact the local health district about suspected cases or exposures, and shut down the area for deep sanitation if possible.”
The “recommended best practices” in such cases call upon a restaurant or bar to “work with the local health department to identify potentially infected or exposed individuals to help facilitate effective contact tracing/ notifications; once testing is readily available, test all suspected infections or exposures; and following testing, contact local health department to initiate appropriate care and tracing,” according to the “Responsible Restart Ohio” document.
