Two other cases were detected on Nov. 4. The employees were last at work on Oct. 29, followed proper guidelines and were asymptomatic, according to Canada Post.
The fourth case was identified on Sunday. The person was last at work on Nov. 4 and wasn’t showing any symptoms.
Officials say all guidelines were followed and none appear to be linked to each other.
The crown corporation said it continues to follow both federal and local guidelines.
“We’ve implemented physical distancing in all our facilities, have visible markings, staggered start times where necessary, increased cleaning and availability of safety equipment and sanitizers and provided reusable face coverings, which we strongly recommend using in our facilities when physical distancing can’t be maintained even for brief periods,” a spokesperson said.
It comes as Winnipeg deals with a record number of COVID-19 cases. As of Monday morning, the city has 3,559 active cases.
