Vaughan Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua has confirmed that five employees at the city’s Costco location have tested positive for COVID-19.
Two of said employees have been determined to be “close contacts.”
The mayor said that York Region Public Health has thoroughly investigated the store, situated at Highway 7 and Weston Road. Thus far, two onsite inspections have been completed, and another is planned for the coming week.
These inspections have included reviewing sick-time /isolation policies and infection control practices, limiting the number of staff in the staff room, direction of customers through isles, which are one-way, ensuring hand sanitizer is readily available, and more.
