Some other companies have chosen not to post their exposure notices online. Last week, London Drugs said in an e-mailed statement to CTV News Vancouver that its disclosure is “a direct result of the recommendations and guidance of local health authorities.”
“If the health authority determines that the public may have been exposed to another customer or employee and advises us to make a public statement, then we will,” the e-mailed statement read.
Save On Foods also does not publish its exposure notices online unless indicated to do so.
“We work closely with local health authorities to notify all team members and customers that the health authority believes may be at risk of exposure, including recommended next steps,” the company said in a statement sent Wednesday.
“As always, we don’t allow our team members to show up for work when they get sick and we continue to encourage our customers who are feeling sick to stay at home.”
T&T Supermarkets publishes its alerts online and says it requires people who have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19 to isolate themselves. These employees are also asked to show a negative coronavirus test result before returning to work.
CTV News Vancouver contacted Costco about its policy but received no response.
Both Loblaws and Sobeys keep their exposure alerts online for two weeks.
