Last week, records showed that several other Metro employees across the GTA have been diagnosed with coronavirus.

One case was identified at the 170 The West Mall distribution centre at that time.

Further cases were confirmed at: the West Queen West Metro; the Metro located at Bloor and Spadina; in Mississauga at 1240 Eglinton Avenue West; and in Oakville, three cases, at the 1011 Upper Middle Road East location.

“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.
