In accordance with its protocols, Wawa took immediate action and closed the store to have it professionally deep cleaned and disinfected. The store will reopen as soon as possible with associates from neighboring stores, if needed.

We are working with the local Department of Health regarding notifications to any associate who may have had close contact with the associate. The last day the associate worked was Thursday, April 2.
