Dear friends of SABOR & BODEGA
We are incredibly sad to report a member of our administrative team has tested positive for COVID-19. The majority of this individual’s time spent in our properties is during the day and confined to office space. We believe there is very little to no risk to guests who joined us for dinner this past week.
In response to this news, we’ve temporarily closed SABOR and all BODEGA locations
(DT, 124 Street, Highlands, and St. Albert) to conduct a deep clean and sanitization of all properties and to give the entire staff time to get tested.
The staff member who tested positive last worked on Wednesday, November 25, felt unwell later in the evening, immediately self-isolated, and got tested the following morning. They have been self-isolating ever since and we send them best wishes for a speedy recovery.
To our knowledge, AHS has not identified any other individuals to be a close contact or at risk. We have notified all team members to inform them of the potential contact they have had with a peer who has tested positive. Any staff members displaying symptoms of COVID-19 have been asked to self-isolate immediately and get tested.
This is devastating news to what has already been a difficult time for us and our peers in the hospitality industry. Closures like this one are becoming more common and although we are grateful for the love and support Edmonton continues to send our way – our wish is for everyone to limit contact for the next few weeks, order takeout/delivery from locally-owned establishments, wear masks, wash hands, and show kindness and respect.
We will re-open when the teams at each location receive a clean bill of health. In the meantime – please be safe.
Christian Mena & Lino Oliveira
