In a post to Facebook the Wildginger restaurant thanked its staff, their families and patrons for being responsible and respectful of "this dilemma we are facing".
"We are not out of the woods yet but let's hope we can post an even better result the same time next week which would be fantastic if no diners are diagnosed also," the post said.
"For the interim Wildginger will not be taking any bookings until mid September.
"We would also like to give a huge thank you for the massive support that has been shown by our local community and beyond. It's incredible and we are truly humbled."
