Kroger To Provide Free COVID-19 Testing To Southland Grocery Store Workers After 21 Employees At Hollywood Ralphs Test Positive
KCAL ^ | May 4, 2020 | Staff

Posted on 05/05/2020 8:59:09 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

The union that represents roughly 22,000 grocery workers at Ralphs and Food 4 Less in Southern California announced Monday that Kroger has agreed to provide access to free COVID-19 testing for workers....

In addition to testing, UFCW Local 770 is calling for:

deep cleaning of an entire store when an employee tests positive and a 24-hour store closure for sanitation;

notification for affected workers and evaluation of who to quarantine when someone contracts COVID-19;

access to testing for all workers when someone contracts COVID-19;

a safety and health committee at each store comprised of both union and management representatives; and

a review by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Department and CalOSHA at a store where someone tests positive for COVID-19.

“Starting this month, Kroger Health, the healthcare division of the company, confirmed it would start offering COVID-19 testing to associates, based on symptoms and medical need..”

Good to see Kroger being proactive to test their associates.

Better to get it and deal with it than take a Fauci/Gates vacinne.

THAT’S the question. I don’t give a damn how many people test “positive.” No thinking person should. What we need to know is how many required hospitalization and how many of those people died. And, stop fiddling the numbers to count every death as the result of COVID even when that person was never tested to confirm they were infected. That’s not science. That’s a scam.
