CALGARY -- There have been almost two dozen new cases of COVID-19 found among workers at Loblaws and Sobeys stores, the two companies have confirmed.

Both Loblaw Companies Ltd. and Sobeys Inc. have been tracking the number of positive cases in workers at their stores since the beginning of the pandemic. They've also been working with public health officials to make sure that customers are kept safe.

"Where required, we will communicate with customers who have shopped in the impacted location, with store signage, outlining our steps to manage the situation," Sobeys wrote in a statement on its website.

"We will make every effort to update this information in due course and as information becomes available to us, following the guidance of Public Health."
