South End restaurant shuts for two weeks after owner tests positive for coronavirus

Jay Hajj, owner of Mike's City Diner on Washington Street reported yesterday:

Bad news today. I have tested positive for the novel Covid 18 virus. My symptoms are very mild. While I have not been in the kitchen or serving at Mike's, out of an abundance of caution, we are closing the restaurant so the staff and I can self quarantine. Thank you for your understanding and support - we'll let you know when we are back.
