According to the public record of the confirmed case, the last day the employee worked in store was August 15th, and they have since been self-isolating. The store has otherwise remained open to the public for shopping as usual.
Grocery stores in Hamilton have become a noteworthy spot for new cases of COVID-19 among frontline essential workers.
This isn’t even the first confirmed COVID-19 case at this particular No Frills location. In the middle of April, Frank’s No Frills saw its first employee test positive for the coronavirus, which was followed by a deep cleaning of the store and self-isolation by the positive employee.
Other COVID-19 cases have been found in local grocery stores such as FreshCo and Metro, both at Upper Gage and Fennell; and Fortinos in Ancaster, which was confirmed just a few days ago.
