QUINCY, MA — An employee at Malachy's in Quincy who tested positive for the coronavirus made the establishment the third in the city in the past week to close due to have employees testing positive for the virus.

Manet Lunch and The Hofbrau have also had employees test positive in the past week.

The Quincy Health Department is conducting contact tracing and asking anyone who may have been at the place inside or outside from July 21 to to July 23 to call the department at 617-376-1286. Malachy's is expected to remain closed until Aug. 6.
