In an emailed statement, Carmen's Catering said an employee recently had tested postive for COVID-19.
"As soon as we where notified we got in contact with the Health Unit for recommendations. Also all employees voluntarily went and got a COVID test that day," the statement said. "Employees currently at Carmen's are clear and the other employees that where in close contact have not returned and are self-isolating until given OK by the Health unit"
"We had a visit from the Health Unit on Sunday and all of our procedures for cleaning and screening where gone over and found to be up to standards. The health unit also gave us recommendations for what we need to do for the new Red Zone Classification that Windsor Essex is currently under. We hope this addresses any concerns you have in Shopping at Carmen's Catering."
