Seattle Starbucks Closes After Employee Tests Positive for Coronavirus | Eater Seattle

"After an employee tested positive for COVID-19, I learned that the Starbucks at First Avenue and University Street—one of the chain’s “Reserve” outposts—closed Friday while the company initiated an immediate deep clean following local health guidelines; officials said further preventative cleaning has already been conducted and the store will be staffed by partners with no known impact from COVID-19. The cafe was still closed as of late Sunday but hoped to reopen Monday morning; the employee is isolating at home and reportedly feeling well, and it is unknown whether other employees at this location have been tested. This is Starbucks’s first confirmed case of the novel coronavirus." - Gabe Guarente
