There is growing concern about a reported outbreak of coronavirus cases at a popular South Bay Costco store. The Santa Clara County Health Department confirmed it is investigating cases among multiple employees at the Costco on Lawrence Station Road in Sunnyvale. The number of cases went up on Wednesday and it has many workers and customers worried. Word about the coronavirus cases at the Sunnyvale Costco has been spreading online for a while now. But some people tell NBC Bay Area the public deserves more than just a "word of mouth" warning. The company has posted a new note on its employee bulletin board at the Sunnyvale location, which said the number of COVID-19 cases among workers is now up to nine employees.
Some workers said they heard the first case was around July 1, but the first time they were told of the cases was on July 18. One workers, who did not was to be identified, said he has worked at the Sunnyvale Costco for several years and is very concerned about the rising number of infections. "(It's scary) because you're not showing any symptoms, but you come into contact with it," the employee said. "So that's going through my head and it's going through the head of a lot of employees -- they don't know if they have it or not." The Santa Clara County Public Health Department confirmed it is investigating cases at the Costco. It also said the business has been following the proper protocols, which emphasize isolating the infected workers and conducting extensive sanitation. A Costco manager on Wednesday confirmed isolating infected employees and sanitizing the area is being done.
But while the protocol also requires informing anyone who had close contact with the infected employee, it does not require an alert to the general public. Reaction from customers ranged from fear to confidence that Costco is doing all it can. For some workers, the online chatter about the cases and the lack of a public warning adds up to an uneasy atmosphere. "To put it into simple words, it's a very big mess," the employee said. Some public officials tell NBC Bay area mandatory public alerts would be difficult because coronavirus is so common now. The Teamsters union said it is doing everything it can to keep Costco workers safe and plan to bring up the possibility of testing all employees with the company.
自己搜新闻吧
我觉得感染的人不少,出门做好防护,回家洗头洗澡。
才9个,上次LA southbay 的一个costco 24个呢
估计每个grocery store 都有,麻木了
哎,店应该关门
讲话把口罩摘下来可能是下意识。不知道为什么戴着口罩总觉得听不清对方说什么。
你觉得商家虚报图的啥?图倒闭吗
这个版上costco是很神圣的存在,说不得,批评不得
我也是这么觉得的,唉
都转线上不好吗?
惜命没什么不对的。。如果人人都能爱惜自己的健康和生命,疫情也不会发展到这个地步。。。所以我说costco死活不弄curbside pickup, online shopping 也弄的那么烂,完全对不起顾客交的会员费。。。因为costco觉得顾客要想不浪费他们交的costco membership fee,就得冒险去costco店里shopping。。。
他们工作的时候, 真的靠得很近。 不容易。
祝福患病的早日康复。
我总觉得一直以来grocery store里和快递员都免不了有感染的吧?
是啊 costco的员工是不容易,所以他家不愿意费力弄网购平台和pickup,也是增加员工的风险啊,不仅仅是顾客的。
16个?
同不理解为啥costco不做pickup,哪怕他家觉得网购费时费力不划算所以看不上,至少搞一下pickup,对店家来说花的功夫不算太大,对于消费者又多了一个选择,肯定会在他家花更多的钱呀
他们家pickup工作量还是很大的,想想他们家的人流量,再想想每个人车里堆的东西,不可能满足pickup的需求的
难道又要开始蹲点抢 weee刷单了吗
说明员工之间的隔离不好。不是和顾客之间的隔离不好。
非常同意,每次看到微信群里有人贴聚会的照片,觉得这次疫情还会很久,国人算小心的都去浪,美国人怎么可能守在家里,无奈。
实话说Costco已经比其他店做得好很多了
绝对的 去大华看看 用个什么塑料薄膜在收银台那里 结账的时候完全看不出排队人的距离呢
大华疫情开始到现在,人少了很多吧,上个月去过两次,都不用排队。costco简直是人山人海
同意,工作染上covid值得尊重和保障,聚会染上的应该都他妈抓去集中隔离。
