Another three cases were confirmed shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, 80 employees who were not experiencing symptoms have been tested for the virus through the county\u2019s mobile testing unit. Five of those employees tested positive.<\/p>\n<p>The store will stay open, Summit County Communications Director Julie Sutor said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row sd-donation sd-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThey have been extremely proactive in identifying any additional measures and working with us to implement any preventive measures,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Since the first confirmed case April 22, City Market and county public health officials have worked together to identify all positive cases, isolate them and quarantine their close contacts. The county identified 19 close contacts of the employees, all of whom have been quarantined.<\/p>\n<p>County officials also reviewed the store\u2019s physical-distancing protocols, which resulted in the closing of the store\u2019s break room, the only location where employees couldn\u2019t maintain a 6-foot distance, according to the news release.<\/p>\n<p>The store has been thoroughly cleaned and continues to be cleaned, according to the release. Store officials also have implemented one-way traffic flows in aisles, 6-foot marks for the lines at check-out and plexiglass barriers to separate cashiers and customers. The county\u2019s safer-at-home public health order requires that customers and employees at all businesses wear facial coverings and maintain a 6-foot distance to slow the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>The store will have an employee at the front door to ensure that people are wearing masks before they enter. The county has received some reports of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/tensions-rise-at-silverthorne-target-over-masks\/\">tensions arising over facial coverings at stores<\/a> but maintains that they are crucial to slowing the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople should assume that anytime when they\u2019re moving throughout the community in public spaces that they could be encountering individuals who are asymptomatic but contagious,\u201d Sutor said. \u201cFor that reason, all of that safer-at-home guidance is really important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>County officials aren\u2019t aware of any positive cases among customers of the store, according to the news release.<\/p>\n<p>While clusters of positive cases aren\u2019t common, the county is prepared for them, Sutor said. However, it\u2019s critical that people continue to practice physical distancing, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of the virus can be tested. Centura Health\u2019s Centers for Occupational Medicine in Frisco offers daily testing. Call 970-668-5584 to receive a testing order. Vail Health also is testing through its mobile clinic.
