LAKEWOOD, Ohio (WJW)– Salt is closed until further notice as staff waits for results of coronavirus testing, the Lakewood restaurant said on its Facebook page on Thursday.

“It has been brought to our attention that we have been exposed to COVID-19. Effective immediately, we will be closed to be tested and await results. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. We look forward to serving you again, soon,” Jill Vedaa and Jessica Parkison said in the post.

Salt, located on Detroit Avenue, reopened following the coronavirus shutdown on June 1 with mandatory masks for guests while entering and exiting the dining room.
