I know of one, my kid’s employee. She’s a young adult, fully recovered. It went like this:
Employee had returned from NYC, got sick while there, returned home and then returned to work when she felt well enough. My kid was told it was a confirmed case. She manages a local grocery co-op store in a major metropolitan city. The store was immediately shut down mid day as was their 2nd store where the employee usually works but was filling in at my kids store that day. Both stores remained closed for a week.
It was later determined the employee wasn’t contagious when she had returned to work.
As far as I know, this was the only business that closed because of a sick employee. I can’t help but think about it being a locally member-owned business that heavily stocks organic foods, locally sourced foods and products and is very careful to stock products from companies that have high quality and ethical standards. Then again, because of the store culture being very conscientious, maybe they did it to themselves. I don’t think they were ordered by any authority to close. But I didn’t ask.
Sales that had been at Thanksgiving week levels at the time of closing haven’t yet recovered to normal over the past month.
