In the original post announcing the positive test, which coincided with the restaurants temporary closure beginning Sunday, Roger's Restaurant and Pizza said it had initially planned to re-open on Monday if all necessary testing went as planned.

Still, the eatery got the green light eventually, albeit just one day later.

Here's an excerpt from the original post announcing the closure:
