CHAUDHRI: The workplace is a COVID battlefield

Are employers just getting it wrong when a COVID-19 case hits their workplace?

In the last few weeks, several news outlets reported on employees contracting COVID-19 right here in Ontario. On Sept. 4, the LCBO reported that an employee at a Scarborough store tested positive for COVID-19 on Sept. 2. It stated that the location was closed and would reopen the next day “subject to staff availability.” The announcement however gave no information about how other LCBO employees at the Scarborough location would be protected if they were exposed.
