VANCOUVER -- Three workers at the Earls restaurant location in Port Coquitlam have tested positive for COVID-19, the company says.

The individuals are now self-isolating at home, Earls Restaurants said in a statement Monday.

"All staff members were temperature checked upon arrival at the restaurant, did not show symptoms and were wearing the appropriate PPE," a statement from Earls Restaurants reads.

The company says it's been working closely with Fraser Health and have been told it's safe to remain open as the risk to the public is low.

Out of an abundance of caution, the company says, Earls has decided to close this location temporarily to allow for a "complete deep sanitation."

The company did not specify what jobs the test-positive workers hold or when exactly they tested positive for the virus.

A message on the company's website says the Port Coquitlam location is not currently offering dine-in pickup or delivery.

Fraser Health says people may have been exposed to the virus at the restaurant on July 15 between 3:30 and 10:30 p.m., July 16 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and July 17 between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m.

The health authority says anyone who was at the restaurant at those times should monitor themselves for COVID-19 symptoms and avoid crowded public spaces until July 31.​

Anyone displaying symptoms should self-isolate as soon as possible for 10 days and get tested for COVID-19.​

Earls Restaurants hasn’t said what positions the employees were working in.

The company said in a statement Tuesday anyone concerned about exposure or wondering if they should be tested should call 811. Anyone with further questions is being asked to contact BC Health.

"We will not be releasing any further information at this time to respect patient privacy, and we are encouraging all guests with concerns to contact health authorities for the appropriate medical advice," the statement reads.

An employee at Browns Socialhouse in Newport Village in Port Moody also tested positive for the virus. The employee received a positive test result on Sunday, prompting the restaurant to temporarily close its doors.

Monday's update from B.C. health officials showed a significant increase in positive cases of the virus, with 102 new cases recorded since Friday.
