ShopRite has reported via its Facebook page that a worker at its store at Cheltenham Square in Wyncote has symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Below is the text of its post:

An associate at ShopRite of Cheltenham Square has reported symptoms consistent with COVID-19, and we think it’s important to share this information with our customers. You should know that ShopRite is prepared and we have implemented deep cleaning procedures that follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended protocols, as well as our own enhanced environmental cleaning and disinfecting guidelines. Additionally, we have taken the following steps:

· The associate will not return to work until cleared by a healthcare professional to do so;
· We have notified any colleagues who may have been in close contact for a prolonged period of time, and are requiring them to self-quarantine for a period of 14 days.

The containment of the Coronavirus is a shared responsibility. We are proud of the amazing dedication our associates are demonstrating and we thank them for their service to our customers. Please join us in wishing our associate well and a speedy recovery.

There is no information as to whether the worker has been tested, but even if he or she has been tested, results can take up to seven days.
