An employee at an east Hamilton Shoppers Drug Mart has tested positive for COVID-19, according to the store's parent company.

Loblaws was notified on Saturday that a staff member at the Eastgate Square location at 75 Centennial Pky. N. had tested positive on a presumptive test for COVID-19," according to a listing on their COVID-19 case database.

The last day the employee worked was Oct. 19.

According to Loblaws, when a worker tests positive they work closely with public health and follow their guidance to ensure proper notification of close contacts and required cleaning and sanitization in our stores."

It's unclear how many staff members were affected by the case or if any were recommended to self-isolate as a precaution. The database also does not specify which part of the store the employee worked in.
