Around 50 people who had contact with four El Jebel City Market employees who later tested positive for COVID-19 were in quarantine Tuesday in Pitkin, Garfield and Eagle counties, an official said.<\/p>\n

Seventeen of the contacts were in Pitkin County, County Manager Jon Peacock said Tuesday. Those people were in isolation and were being monitored by public health employees, he told county commissioners during their weekly work session.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an example of how we stop the spread,\u201d Peacock said. \u201cYou can see how quickly it gets complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The four City Market employees were confirmed as positive cases<\/a> Sunday by a grocery store spokeswoman. They were believed to have been exposed to COVID-19 at gatherings outside the store, with City Market not being suspected as the source of the infection, the spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n
