A University Heights restaurant owner temporarily closed his doors after one of his employees reported a close contact with a positive COVID-19 case, though the employee eventually tested negative.
In light of the recent surge of cases in San Diego County, Oz Blackaller was not about to take any chances.
“We couldn’t stay open. It just didn’t feel right and it’s the best decision, even though it hurt us, said Blackaller, who has owned De Nada Kitchen and Market on Adams Avenue for 11 years. We just plan to close for a few days to make sure my employee, who possibly could have been exposed, and we wouldn’t get exposed, and specifically our customers.
