A worker in Myer’s menswear department at shopping mecca Northland has tested positive for coronavirus.
The worker tested positive after contracting the deadly virus from a family member and they last worked in the store from July 20-22 when they were potentially infectious.
As soon as Myer was made aware of the positive test they notified the DHHS and team members, with some now in isolation.
The store and department has undergone a deep clean and sanitisation and will be open today.
A Myer spokesman said their thoughts are with the team member and they wish them a speedy recovery.
“We can advise that a Myer team member at our Northland store has returned a positive result for COVID-19 following contact with a positive family member,” he said.
“Despite having enhanced hygiene and safety measures in place, we have undertaken a deep clean and full sanitisation of the store overnight, and it will be open for trade today.
“We would advise anyone who was shopping in the store on these days, who has developed symptoms or has any concerns, that they should contact 1800 020 080 or visit health.gov.au and follow the Government’s advice.”
Myer has put in place enhanced safety measures at all their stores including hand sanitiser available to customers and team members and sneeze guards at registers.
They are also enforcing the face covering requirement in their metropolitan stores.
