Connie’s Mexico Cafe in N. Wichita has temporarily closed starting today following an employee testing positive for COVID-19.

Connie's is located north of 21st & Broadway.

In a Facebook post, the restaurant said, “the safety of our customers and employees is of the highest priority. While none of the other Connie’s employees are symptomatic, out of an abundance of caution- we are closing temporarily so that our entire staff can be tested. We are working closely and following health department requirements.”

Once it's open again, Connie's says it will continue to do an intense cleaning, require tests for employees, and ensure employees wear masks.
