S2E24: Restaurateurs need faster COVID test turnaround
Cocozza and Erling’s are closed after asymptomatic employees at both restaurants tested positive for COVID-19. At Cocozza, the staff is tested every two weeks and the positive test came from that. At Erling’s , the employee took a test on his own and it took 10 days for the results to arrive. They say they need testing for front line workers with a same-day turnaround. The restaurants are not required to close, but Deni Reilly and Erling Jensen say they feel they have no choice, that they are responsible for keeping their employees and guests safe and with quick results, they could reopen faster.
