"Given the important role we play in our communities, we are prepared for all possible situations, including a positive test for COVID-19 in our stores," a notice on the Loblaws website says.

"In these cases, we work closely with public health and follow their guidance to ensure proper notification of close contacts and required cleaning and sanitization in our stores."

While the risk of transmission tends to be low in these cases, the company says it post notices in an effort to remain transparent. Some other companies, however, don't post notices unless directed to do so by local health authorities.

Loblaws keeps exposure warnings online for two weeks.
