All workers working at a Canada Post in Mississauga, Ontario, are now required to get tested for COVID-19 as the facility battles a primary outbreak.
On Saturday, the post said another 273 people running at the site had tested positive since the beginning of the month.
Canada Post says the regional fitness authority, Peel Public Health, has ordered mandatory testing at Gateway facilities, and workers who have already been tested will have to be re-evaluated.
The initiative began Friday and is expected to expand over the next week.
The company announced the death of a COVID-19 positive employee on Wednesday amid the growing outbreak.
More than 4,500 people work at the site that’s a major mail delivery hub, and Canada Post has advised the public to expect service delays.
