An Apple worker at Westfield Fountain Gate has tested positive for coronavirus.

It’s understood the company confirmed the case on Tuesday after workers raised concerns about the staff member who was believed to be infectious while working in the store.

It’s believed the store will remain open.

An Apple spokeswoman said in a statement because the staff member was deemed not to have had any close contact with anyone else at the store, and there were stringent cleaning protocols in place, the Narre Warren store did not need to close to the public.

Dozens of residents from Melbourne’s southeast have taken to Facebook to raise concerns about the positive case.

One woman wrote: “They should be closed for cleaning, it’s the safest thing to do.”
