Three employees at a Costco in Anjou on the Island of Montreal have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, according to spokesperson Ron Damiani.
The workers’ last shifts at the wholesale grocery store on Bombardier Street were between March 14 and March 24.
It is unclear how long the employees were symptomatic and if they worked while potentially infected.
“We have been very proactive with our cleaning and sanitizing policies, implementing a series of measures across the country even before these case came forth in this location,” said Damiani.
