The employees were last in the restaurant on July 5, and were exposed to the virus outside of work. They are now self-quarantining.

"While they were exposed to this virus outside of work, we can ensure we took all the proper precautions at HopCat," the restaurant said in the Facebook post. "Within our four walls, all employees followed all of our safety protocols including our regular sanitizing processes that occur daily."

HopCat said in the post they practiced all CDC guidelines including requiring employees to wash their hands every half hour and to wear masks and gloves. Every employee also went through a daily screening for fever and symptoms.

The restaurant is unsure of how long they will be closed but plans on reopening in a few days.

"The safety of our guests and employees is our top priority," HopCat said in the Facebook post. "Per CDC guidelines and local health department direction, the risk of transmission among employees and guests is very low based on our practices."
