The CDC says the risk of getting COVID-19 from handling and eating food from restaurants is thought to be very low. Even so, when an employee tests positive for the virus, restaurants aren’t taking any chances. The Daleville restaurant reopened Wednesday after being closed since June 22 because an employee tested positive for the coronavirus. The latest two local restaurants to have employees test positive for the coronavirus are the Cheddar’s and Olive Garden in Roanoke.
