The Cleveland Circle Chipotle Mexican Grill, due to which 136 Boston College students got sick with norovirus, has received permission to reopen over the holiday weekend. The permission has been given nearly 3 weeks after it was forced to shut down by Boston health officials.

On Wednesday, Chipotle received permission to once again serve and sell food, but a water leak further postponed the reopening of the restaurant.

While speaking to the Boston Globe, Chipotle spokesperson Chris Arnold said that they didn't have to do anything besides fixing the leak and any linked damage.

In the beginning of this month dozens of students reported falling ill after consuming food at the restaurant. City officials discovered number health code violations like inadequately heated meat. They also found that a sick employee was made to work.

However, since then all employees have been tested and found virus free that sickened so many. Reporters interviewed many patrons leaving the reopened restaurant, on Sunday.

An ER doctor at nearby Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Nikhil Shankar said that the latest bill of health issued by city officials was sufficient for him to feel comfortable while consuming food at the popular franchise. He told the Boston Herald, “If I get sick, I get sick. Someone had to try it again”.

Recently, Chipotle food was also linked to an outbreak of E. coli that made 52 people sick across 9 states. However, officials said that the problems of the Boston restaurant were unrelated.
