VANCOUVER -- Nearly a dozen more COVID-19 exposure notices have been posted at grocery stores and pharmacies across the Lower Mainland.

Some other companies have chosen not to post their exposure notices online. Last week, London Drugs said in an emailed statement to CTV News Vancouver that its communication is "a direct result of recommendations and guidance from the local health authority."

"If the health authority determines the public may have been exposed to another customer or an employee, and advises us to issue a public statement, then we will do so," the emailed statement said.

Save On Foods also doesn't post its exposure notices online unless directed to do so. 

"We work closely with the local health authorities to notify any team members and customers whom the health authority deems may be at risk of exposure including recommended next steps," the company said in an emailed statement Wednesday. 

"As always, we do not allow our team members to report to work when ill, and continue to encourage our customers who are feeling ill to stay home."

T&T Supermarkets posts its notices online and says it requires individuals who have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19 to self-isolate. Those employees are also asked to show a negative test result for the coronavirus before returning to work. 

CTV News Vancouver has reached out to Costco about its policy but has not heard back.

Both Loblaws and Sobeys keeps their exposure notices online for two weeks.
