In a Facebook post, the owners of the establishment invited all customers who came to the bar on Saturday, July 11 to get tested as a preventive measure.

It's pointed out in the publication that employees were also tested on Tuesday. 

The Verdun bar will remain closed until all employees have received their test results.

When it reopens, Social Verdun will continue to apply the very strict sanitary measures that were already in place.
