Durban - Bluff Superspar has confirmed that they have had to close their store today after a staff member tested positive for Covid-19.
Posting via their Facebook page, management said they were alerted to the case by the Department of Health. "The rigorous preventative health and safety protocols implemented, including daily temperature checks, social distancing, the use of masks, deep cleaning, sanitiser and perspex sheet protection at tills, have ensured that the risk of infection has prevented transmission to anyone else. In addition, we have just completed a full decontamination and sanitisation of the store," management said.
People who have been in close contact with the infected staffer have been identified and have been placed in self isolation. Management said the Covid-19 safety protocols in the store have been confirmed and appropriate action is being taken to contain the spread.
