Flomaton Hardee’s Temporarily Closed After Employee Tests Positive For COVID-19
June 23, 2020
The Hardee’s restaurant in Flomaton was temporarily closed after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.
A Hardee’s spokesperson said the store is expected to be closed through Tuesday so that the store can be disinfected and each employee can be tested. Those that receive a negative test result will be allowed to return to work.
The restaurant’s hours have been temporarily cut to 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the store will be staffed by employees from nearby Hardee’s restaurants until tested employees receive their results. Only the drive-thru will be open.
The store is independently owned, and the chain said they have followed CDC guidelines.

Yes, definitely file for your unemployment!
I work there and it’s stressful because I’m a single mother with a daughter that have medical problem I got tested waiting for my result if I’m not working due to the covid 19 should I file for unemployment
REGARDING:
“Just because they test is negative now doesn’t mean they won’t have it in a few days.”
True, nut a 14 day wait isn’t necessary. According to Harvard Medical School, as of June 17:
“If you get the nasal/throat swab or saliva test, you will get a false negative test result:
“100% of the time on the day you are exposed to the virus. (There are so few viral particles in your nose or saliva so soon after infection that the test cannot detect them.)
About 40% of the time if you are tested four days after exposure to the virus.
About 20% of the time if you develop symptoms and are tested three days after those symptoms started.”

So testing the day someone shows up with it won’t tell you anything IF that was the first day anyone else was exposed. IF that one was infected but didn’t know it several days ago, folks around that one might have been exposed earlier and the test could let them know. (And despite what one campaigning in Tulsa said recently, knowledge is better than ignorance. Tests are finally available much more widely. and should be taken.)
David for real cures, less ignorance
Doctors right. Fast food is bad for you.
Lessons from history and life just tell the truth.
First story I heard was they were waiting on a food shipment.
Then “equipment issues” as seen on the sign in the above pic.
Now coronavirus.
Just tell the public the truth. It’s not difficult. An employee or employees got it. We sanitized and have opened back up with new staff pending test results of the existing employees. See it’s not that difficult.
Thursday morning i got me and another lady at work biscuit and gravey before I came to work.
If the employees that test negative have been around the infected employee, then the employees should self quarantine and test again in 14 days. Just because they test is negative now doesn’t mean they won’t have it in a few days.
