THUNDER BAY -- The Thunder Bay District Health Unit says it's likely only Real Canadian Superstore Customers who used the PC Express service on March 30 are likely to have come in contact with an employee who later tested positive for COVID-19.
The company on Thursday announced the employee had not been at the store since March 30 and that they were undergoing a deep clean and should reopen at 7 a.m. on Saturday.
The health unit, in a Facebook post, said they have investigated the potential virus transmission and determined only those who used the service between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the day in question face any risk.
"This risk is deemed to be low and individuals will be contacted directly by TBDHU staff," the health unit states. "The Real Canadian Superstore will be providing to TBDHU the list of people who ordered through PC Express on that day.
"TBDHU is also following up with the Superstore regarding other staff who may have been exposed."
PC Express allows customers to order their groceries online,then pick them up at the store.
Anyone with questions about this incident is encouraged to phone the COVID-19 line at 625-5900. Nurses will be on hand to provide guidance and answer questions.
