Grocery store, LCBO coronavirus cases reported in Toronto this week

Toronto grocery stores and LCBO locations may disclose instances of employees having tested positive for COVID-19.

We’re consolidating this information every week so that, going into the weekend, you know which locations have seen recent cases and if there are any closures to be aware of.

Here are the updates on confirmed cases of coronavirus between September 14 to September 18:

LCBO

• There have been no reported cases of coronavirus in Toronto LCBO store employees this week.

LCBO customers are required to wear a mask or face covering when shopping in cities or towns where municipal bylaws or orders have made it mandatory, which also includes Toronto.

As the province of Ontario 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.

Grocery stores

• According to Metro, the store was notified of the positive COVID-19 test on September 14 from their Metro Bathurst and Lawrence location, 3090 Bathurst Street. The employee’s last day of work was September 11.

Here is the case at Metro listed this week:

“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.
