Kamloops grocery store sees another positive COVID-19 case

A Kamloops grocery store has seen another positive case of COVID-19, making it the third case at the store in three weeks.

An employee at Real Canadian Superstore tested positive on an undisclosed date, according to a release issued online today, March 3, by parent company Loblaw.

The last day the employee worked was Feb. 28.

The case follows two other positive tests of employees at the same Superstore last month. Their last days at work were Feb. 7 and Feb. 13.

Loblaw said there were 15 positive cases at it's B.C. operations over the last 15 days. The cases were almost entirely on the Lower Mainland, although a worker at a Shoppers Drug Mart in Kamloops tested positive and stopped working Feb. 19.

There are currently no active public exposures listed by Interior Health on its online listing page here.
