A part-time server at a Smitty's location in Steinbach, Man., has tested positive for COVID-19, according to the president of the company. The server's last shift at the location on Park Road was on Monday, but her test results came back positive on Saturday night, said Jim Weidinger, the president of Smitty's Canada. Weidinger said the staff member who tested positive had been in self-isolation prior to receiving her test results because a family member had tested positive for COVID-19. He says one of the ways it's exceeding government protocols is its newest rule, which is in place at Smitty's restaurants across Canada. CBC News reached out to Smitty's in Steinbach, which is about 50 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg and is overseen by the Southern Heath region, but the manager deferred comment to Smitty's Canada.
