With Woolworths Access Park in Port Elizabeth now hit by a devastating 10 Covid-19 positive cases, Discovery Health — also based in the city — reported its first case of the coronavirus.
Staff from Woolworths Food Access Park said on Tuesday they had started a support group to help each other deal with the fear as the number of positive cases rises.
“An independent expert service provider undertook a deep-clean of both buildings, including fogging by a decontamination team.“Consequent to the contact tracing, a number of employees have been requested to self-isolate at home and not return to the office for a minimum of 14 days. With Discovery Health declared an essential service, Hudson said more than 85% of the workforce was working from home.
“In recognition of the risks of public transport to the office, we have hired approximately 500 vehicles for the staff’s personal use to commute to the office.“This ensures safe commuting and travel to the office in compliance with legislated requirements,” she said.“It is very scary but we are trying to support one another and are encouraging one another to be positive and to boost our immune systems.
