CALGARY -- Loblaw Companies Ltd. and Sobeys Inc., the two companies that own and operate most of the supermarkets and pharmacies in the Calgary area, have provided another update on active COVID-19 cases in workers.

The companies have provided information on COVID-19 infections in employees since the beginning of the pandemic so that customers can take proper precautions, including seeking testing if necessary.

All personal information about the infected employees is withheld in order to protect their privacy, the companies say.

"We will continue to update the COVID-19 tracker below to be transparent with you where we have been notified of cases of COVID-19 in our stores," Sobeys Inc. wrote in a statement.
