Several GTA grocery store staff test positive for coronavirus
Several employees from grocery stores across the GTA have tested positive for COVID-19 in recent days, grocer website records show.
The West Queen West Metro is one of the affected locations, as is the Metro at Bloor Street West and Spadina Avenue.
Additional diagnosed employees of the grocer have been identified in Mississauga at 1240 Eglinton Avenue West, in Etobicoke at the distribution centre located at 170 The West Mall, and three in Oakville at the 1011 Upper Middle Road East location.
Staff members have been diagnosed between April 24 and May 3, and last worked between April 22 and April 30.
In the case of one Oakville employee, the individual last worked on April 30, and notified the store of their positive diagnoses that same day.
