In the latest of a series of local businesses that have recently revealed that staff members have tested positive for COVID-19, Real Canadian Superstore said it has had three positive cases among its employees.

The Lasalle Boulevard grocery store’s parent company, Loblaw Companies Limited, revealed on its website the “team members” tested positive Nov. 7, and the last day they worked was Nov. 2 and 3.

"At this point there is no evidence to suggest that there is a link between the cases and the store," Loblaw public relations said in an emailed statement. "We have been working closely with the local public health team who has assured us that we have taken all necessary precautions (the sanitization, distancing measures and mandatory masks) and that the risk remains low for our customers."

Loblaw said on its website that for transparency, it regularly updates its website with all positive COVID-19 cases in its stores (that includes Your Independent Grocer and Shoppers Drug Mart, along with Real Canadian Superstore here in Greater Sudbury) for the past 15 days.

“For privacy, we will not release any personal information about our colleagues and employees,” the website said.
