BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 Eight Breckenridge City Market employees have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, and one additional employee is awaiting test results. The Summit County Public Health Department is coordinating with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to investigate the outbreak, according to a news release.<\/p>\n

Public Health Director Amy Wineland said in the release that health officials are working with the individuals and City Market management to contain the outbreak and ensure the employees receive appropriate care.<\/p>\n

Public health officials were notified of a positive case at the store April 22, according to the release. The Summit County Public Health surveillance team interviewed the person who tested positive, and their close contacts were referred to testing and required to self-isolate. The additional tests results were received April 27 and 28 and confirmed more positive cases. According to the release, Summit County public health officials will contact all close contacts of the additional positive cases. <\/p>\n

In response to the outbreak, City Market closed its Breckenridge location early on Tuesday to sanitize the store. The release noted that the store also is increasing the enforcement of facial covering requirements for employees and customers, is reducing the use of the employee break room and has expanded testing for employees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
