We’ve learned that an employee working at our Agro Centre location has been confirmed to have COVID-19. To protect our community, we’ve taken the following actions: • We’ve reviewed the employee’s work schedule and have asked other employees that have been listed as close contact to self-isolate and get tested as well. • We deep cleaned the location, paying particular attention to areas they have been and surfaces they contacted. We continue maintaining high standards of cleaning at all of our Lakeland Co-op locations. • When COVID-19 was confirmed, we contacted the Alberta Health Authority and are following the direction they provided. • We are not closing this location but will remain open with potential limited hours. Our priority remains supplying our community while keeping our team members, customers, and communities safe and healthy. We understand the impacts of COVID-19, which is why we want to be transparent and disclose broad details about the confirmed cases while ensuring the confidentiality of our team. We appreciate the work being done by all our employees in serving Lakeland and we’re working to support them as we make our way through this pandemic together. That’s why when any of our employees are feeling unwell or showing symptoms, they are directed to self-isolate at home and seek testing. We also conduct contact tracing and advise any individual who had been in close contact to self-isolate and see guidance from the Alberta Health Authority. We will continue to inform our members and customers of any positive cases by updating the tracker below on our Lakeland Co-op website.
