A Saskatoon dairy plant employee has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Saputo said the employee was last at the facility on April 27 before developing flu-like symptoms the following day.
A company spokesperson told Global News measures were taken before and after the employee developed the symptoms. “We worked with authorities there to make sure that the employee could track back all of their movements, who they had been in direct contact with and those individuals were contacted as well so that they could self-isolate or monitor for symptoms,” Sandy Vassiadis said.
She added the areas where the employee spent time were sanitized immediately which can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day.
