SAQ employees that tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 35 days
According to SAQ, when an employee is affected by COVID-19, the employee and all colleagues in contact with them are placed in preventive isolation.
Cases throughout September and October align with the second wave of COVID-19 in Quebec, and most businesses have been forced to close temporarily.
The retail industry remains the sector with the most COVID-19 outbreaks in the province.
On its website, SAQ said 47 out of 53 employees who tested positive for the virus have been instructed by Quebec's public health authority to resume activities as usual.
