One of the employees at Darryll and Tracy’s\u00a0No Frills store located in 1257 Highbury Avenue has tested positive of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).<\/p>\n

In the company\u2019s social media post, the officials of the grocery store confirmed that the employee tested positive on a presumptive test for COVID-19 and was last seen on the store on May 12th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that you may have questions and want to assure you we take your safety, and the safety of our team, very seriously,\u201d read the statement on the grocery store\u2019s official Facebook page.<\/p>\n

The store\u2019s officials say that an additional cleaning and sanitation was arranged before the store proceeded to re-open to the public on Tuesday as usual.<\/p>\n

No Frills assured that increased sanitation and protocols including social distancing are being implemented at the store.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a number of protocols in place at the store-level, including daily sanitization and social distancing practices to minimize the risk of exposure to our customers and team members,\u201d the officials said.<\/p>\n

The store\u2019s management has reached out to the Middlesex-London Health Unit to help conduct a contact tracing to determine individuals who may have come in contact with the employee.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will work with the local public health team on any further directions,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n

The supermarket was not the only one with confirmed cases of employees contracting the virus in London. In April, the Real Canadian Superstore in Oxford Street East and the Oxford Street West both had cases of employees\u2019 positive of the coronavirus disease.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, an additional 11 new cases were confirmed by the Middlesex-London health unit, bringing the total number of cases in the region to 484. 69 percent or 337 of the patients confirmed with the coronavirus disease have recovered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
