VANCOUVER -- Ten more notices warning of possible COVID-19 exposures at grocery stores and pharmacies across B.C. have been posted online.

The notices warn employees at those locations recently tested positive for the disease. Parent companies Loblaws and Sobeys both shared multiple warnings in the past few days.

The most recent exposures were reported at:

  • Safeway at 1033 Austin Ave. in Coquitlam. A notice was posted on May 10; the employee last worked on May 5.

Last month, a new public health order was announced, permitting WorkSafeBC prevention officers to begin serving businesses with shutdown orders after three or more employees test positive for the disease.

The closures last for at least 10 days, but some workplaces can avoid being shuttered if it's determined to be "in the overriding public interest" to keep them open, according to health officials.

It doesn't appear any grocery stores in B.C. have been forced to close since that health order was announced.
