The owners of Standard Hallin the Short North say they are closing the restaurant after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.  The employee also had contact with staff at their Short North Pint House and Goody Boy locations, and all three are closed for cleaning.  Standard Hall came under fire  when in-person dining resumed for having large crowds without proper social distancing.  Operators say it does not appear the employee had contact with any customers, but those who have eaten at any of the locations recently should monitor themselves for symptoms.
