The Checkers store at the Walmer Park shopping centre in Newton Park and two stores at the Walmer Park shopping centre were affected.
Three retail stores in Port Elizabeth closed their doors on Monday after staff members tested positive for Covid-19.
The Walmer Park shopping centre also released a statement on Monday saying that it had come to their attention that a Dischem Walmer Park employee and a third-party contractor to Pick n Pay have tested positive for the Covid-19 virus. The store closed immediately and a professional decontamination company was brought in to sanitise and deep-clean. The store will be reopened in consultation with the provincial Department of Health.
The Walmer Park shopping centre management said: "Both stores have been temporarily closed. We have been informed that both the Dischem and Pick n Pay stores will undergo forensic deep-cleaning by specialists, and all staff who have been in close contact with the employee or the store third-party contractor will be placed in self-quarantine.
