People who were at Junior's Sportsbar and Grill in Cambridge from Oct. 17 up to, and including, Oct. 22 may have been exposed to COVID-19, Region of Waterloo Public Health says.
Public health declared a workplace outbreak at the Cambridge restaurant saying five cases have been reported so far. Those cases are among staff and in four of the cases, individuals were not vaccinated.
Health officials said people who visited the restaurant are considered to be high risk contacts.
"These individuals are advised to self-isolate and seek testing immediately," public health said in a release Tuesday.
"Public health is supporting the workplace to inform all affected patrons of the exposure and will be following up with all high risk contacts."
Public health adds interactions outside of the workplace in some of the cases have contributed to the outbreak as well.
The restaurant has closed voluntarily and staff have co-operated with regional health officials. Public health said it is working closely with the restaurant to implement stronger infection prevention.
Public health says it will continue to provide support to the restaurant. It also "strongly recommends" that all workplaces have policy options that "would facilitate the highest vaccination coverage possible."
