"A COVID-19 outbreak involving at least 23 employees of a Whole Foods Market on Mack Avenue in midtown Detroit has been confirmed by the company and the Detroit Health Department. The store has since reopened. It employs 196 people. Sources speaking under condition of anonymity told Daily Detroit Thursday three quarters of the employees working Tuesday evening tested positive for the virus via rapid tests. The store closed within an hour after receiving the test results. All other employees were offered rapid tests by the city’s department of health. Employees who tested positive will not be allowed to work until they produce a negative test result. A spokesperson for Whole Foods later confirmed the early closing time due to the positive tests results and confirmed a number of employees at the Midtown store have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the pandemic began last March. The Mack Avenue location limits capacity inside and prioritizes customers 60 years and older, high risk individuals, and people with disabilities on Friday mornings. Staff and customers are required to wear masks inside the store." - BethMcKibben
