Woolworths has assured customers they can safely shop at the grocery chain’s Williams Landing store, after a customer with a confirmed case of coronavirus visited the stop last month.
A Woolworths spokesperson said: “We have been notified by the Department of Health and Human Services, that a customer with a confirmed case of Coronavirus (COVID-19) was present in our Williams Landing store on Sunday, 28th June 2020.
“Whilst we have been advised by the Department of Health and Human Services that the risk to customers and team members is low, the safety and wellbeing of the local community is our priority.
“As a food retailer, we already have very high standards of cleaning and hygiene in place, and the store had a detailed deep clean overnight on Sunday 5th July.
“In line with public health advice, we are taking all necessary steps to ensure ongoing safety in our stores.
“Customers and team members should be assured they can continue to safely shop and work at our Williams Landing supermarket.”
A sign has been erected at the Woolworths store, to notify customers of the matter.
