Grocery store coronavirus cases disclosed in Toronto this week
Over the course of a week, various Toronto grocery stores and LCBO locations may disclose instances of employees being diagnosed with COVID-19.
We’re consolidating this information so that, going into the weekend, you know which local spots have seen recent cases, and if there are any closures to be aware of.
Here are the updates on confirmed cases of coronavirus between July 27 to 31:
LCBO
- There have been no reported cases of coronavirus in Toronto LCBO store employees this week. LCBO customers are now required to wear a mask or face covering when visiting stores in regions with municipal bylaws or orders saying so, including Toronto.
As the province gradually reopens, the LCBO says it will continue to prioritize the health and well-being of its employees, and there are safety measures in place, including cleaning and sanitization, in-store promotion of physical distancing, and HR policies in support of staff.

“We will always contact and follow the guidance of Public Health to ensure the safety of our teammates and customers whenever we are made aware of a confirmed case of COVID-19 in one of our food stores or distribution centres,” reads Metro’s website.
The grocer says its online tracker is continually being updated in an effort to keep the public aware of where cases have been confirmed.
