QuoteA Tesco Extra in Swindon has suffered a coronavirus outbreak among staff.

Tesco confirmed there had been a small number of confirmed coronavirus cases at the supermarket.
"small number" as a description is no help at all.

Not sure what you're getting at. Are you wanting places to close if one person has Covid?

He's highlighting Tescos lack of enforcement of coronavirus policies, the amount of times duty managers says to come in if you're not sick but you're living with someone who has it is ridiculous and should be taken more seriously by law enforcers.

Where I work I personally know of Covid cases. I also know that my place of work will never close. We are keeping the country fed. Can you imagine what would happen if all supermarkets close?

dotnochance

It would be run by the army, who might actually take the corona virus seriously, and not by managers who are going against tesco policy. so its a win win

Munchkin

There's plenty of shops available to keep the country fed if a crown court can close for one suspected case why are we as shop workers not even important enough to limit the custom in store or control them and enforce hygiene this company and its union are an absolute disgrace

QuoteIn an internal WhatsApp message, senior store staff informed workers last Wednesday “to try and keep things as calm as possible as we still have a business to run”.

The member of staff returned a positive test result at the start of last week.

Armagh I understands that the staff member works on the main floor in the grocery department.

The information and the identity of the confirmed case was not relayed to shop workers “due to GDPR” and “in keeping with confidentially”, according to the message sent via WhatsApp.

Surely this can't be allowed  :question:

While the identity of the individual should indeed be kept confidential by management, their colleagues do need to be informed they have been exposed to risk and asked to isolate.  That the circumstances mean that who it is can easily be worked out is neither here not there.

QuoteA positive Covid-19 case was confirmed in the supermarket's Prescot Extra store, a spokeswoman said.

The case was confirmed two weeks ago, the store said, and "extensive measures" have been put in place across all of its branches to try and curb the spread of the deadly virus.

"extensive measures" another statement that conveys no useful information.

If extensive deep cleaning is happening it must be the Cornish pixies doing it.Standard press release drivel.Love the non existent trust no one has for this company anymore.

BadHairDay

In my store a member of staff has been tested positive for Covid 19. No staff have officially been told, especially their colleagues on the department they work on. To my knowledge the local press do not know. I am confused by the response of management who are more concerned about “the needs of the business “ than the health of their staff, or even their own health.

dotnochance

Yeah my store has/had confirmed Covid cases, absolutely nothing changed in store, no Deep cleaning has been done(out with the normal cleaning by cleaners in morning) if their saying after a covid case in stores their doing deep cleans then their lying out of there arses.

lucgeo

Along the similar lines that they always stated ( prior Covid) that their trolleys were deep cleaned on a regular basis...over 20 years never saw it happen once  :-X
Live for today. Learn from yesterday.

thor god of thunder

there was a case in our store earlier in the year. it wasn't handled overly well. they did however have some cleaning done in the area that they had worked but it was days days after the last shift. I think due to privacy laws or policies they are not forced to tell everyone....ours did though. on a general point we took on extra people to clean....I am yet to see anyone cleaning the staff canteen at any point though all of this.

Nomad

If a member of your family group tests positive for Covid rest of group have to isolate, good practice.

A member of your team in work tests positive for Covid rest of team still goes into work, wtf.

It is about time media got into this dangerous 'abnormality'.

I don't really understand how stores that are 24 hour are still closing at 10 to fill in the night but stores with twighlight ok close at 10 maybe but your filling with a store full of people...just seems wrong to me
