Dave & Buster's at Hamilton Place mall reopened around noon on Thursday after it temporarily closed the day before due to the coronavirus, according to the entertainment and restaurant complex.

On Wednesday, Dave & Buster's Facebook page said it closed after it was informed that an individual at the location tested positive for COVID-19.

"As soon as we were notified of the positive case, we initiated our response protocol, which includes immediately notifying the local health department, notifying close contact employees, deep cleaning and sanitizing of the store," the post said. "The health and safety of our guests and team members is our top priority. We will continue to closely follow the protocols of the federal, state, and local health authorities in our daily operating procedures."

The business first opened at the mall in part of the former Sear's building in March. But it closed shortly thereafter when the mall shut down amid the coronavirus. Dave & Buster's initially reopened about a week ago.
