Earlier this week, an employee in San Diego received a “presumptive” positive test for COVID-19 after returning from personal travel to a high-risk region (currently China, South Korea, Italy and Iran) as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as Level 3. As of today, the positive test has not yet been confirmed by the CDC. Out of an abundance of caution and to safeguard the safety of our employees and customers, we closed and deep cleaned several stores in the area that this employee or colleagues in close contact to this employee may have visited recently. Those stores have reopened.
