An employee from an Orleans Walmart has tested positive for COVID-19. 

A spokesperson from the Canadian branch of Walmart confirmed the news Thursday, saying the employee works at the 3900 Innes Rd. location, at the corner of Mer-Bleue Rd. 

“Safety continues to be a top priority at Walmart. Rest assured, we will continue to take measures to support the well-being of our customers and associates,” Walmart said in an emailed statement. “We’re keeping the associate in our thoughts and wish them a speedy recovery.”

The associate last worked in the store on August 31. 

Ottawa Public Health has been contacted. 

Walmart says it will be increasing cleaning throughout the store, conducting wellness checks that include temperature checks for all employees at the start of each shift, limiting the number of shoppers in the store at a time, among more measures.
