A statement from the restaurant published on Facebook said: "Test and Protect workers are in the process of identifying any customers at risk of infection.
"We have taken the decision today to close Ca-Va for a period of time that will be governed by the Public Health Protection Unit GGC.
"Along with the department, we are currently investigating a Covid-19 incident and we are working closely with Health and Environmental Health colleagues at NHS.
"Today, MASA environmental will be doing an ultra-low volume fogging sterilising process, which will eliminate all possible traces of Covid-19.
"We know many of our customers will be anxious for information and we will update all customers on our website and social media in due course as the government information is released to us.
"We are advised that the Test and Protect Services are ascertaining all guests potentially at risk and that we ask that you allow them the time to collect and process the relevant information required."

Dr Gillian Penrice of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said: “All relevant Public Health measures are in place and myself and our Public Health Team are working with the restaurant to manage and monitor the situation.
“We would ask customers who have been in the restaurant from mid-afternoon onwards on Sunday (9th), Monday (10Th) or Tuesday (11th) should be aware of the symptoms of a fever, persistent cough or loss of taste or smell. If concerned they need to self-isolate immediately and book a test for Covid-19.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
