The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Windsor and Essex County jumped by 35 as of Saturday morning, with at least one grocery store employee testing positive.
The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit is reporting 35 new cases for a total of 1,656 confirmed cases in the area, with the number of deaths holding steady at 68.
An employee at the Real Canadian Superstore at 4371 Walker Rd., recently tested positive on a presumptive test for COVID-19, said a Loblaw’s public relations spokesperson.
“We are working with the local public health team and have taken a number of steps to minimize risk, including increased sanitization protocols and enforcing social distancing practices in the store,” according to the emailed response. “The store also arranged for additional cleaning and has since reopened.
“Team members who worked closely with this individual are now at home in self-isolation, monitoring for any symptoms.”
