The store has been the subject of loud complaints this year, as a lot of staff and critics say it hasn’t done enough to stay as staff while painting in their warehouses in front of a bigger call to ship parts to buyers across the country.
Amazon said on a blog that the number of staff with the disease includes its staff at its Whole Foods Market. A total of 19,816 employees had covid-19s between March 1 and September 19, according to the report, or approximately 1. 44% of Amazon’s 1,372,000 frontline employees at the time.

The tech giant has had a year of intense ups and downs due to the pandemic; their sales soared as others bought more online, especially as shelter measures were implemented in many states, but some workers have publicly rejected their operational situations and shipping delays have led consumers to express their frustrations online.
Amazon noted that its infection rate decreases relative to that of the American population, which yields figures from Johns Hopkins University.
The figures do not come with the company’s delivery drivers, who are contract workers, according to Amazon Kelly cheeseman spokeswoman.
The figures only show Amazon’s infection rate in the US. But it’s not the first time And they only include frontline staff, such as Whole Foods warehouse staff and ATMs. In March, Spanish and Italian staff tested positive for the virus and joined those in the US. But it’s not the first time Europe to signal a petition asking Amazon to adopt stricter protection guidelines, the Washington Post reported.
More than 1,500 employees signed the petition and one worker described career situations as “totally inadequate” for the protection of people.
Amazon has released the breakdown of cases state by state. In peak states, Amazon’s infection rate decreases than the general population, but not Minnesota and West Virginia.
In Minnesota, Amazon workers had an infection rate of 3. 17%, compared to 1. 58% of the state as a whole. In West Virginia, the number of Amazons was 1. 31%, compared to 0. 94% in the state.
Amazon has suggested to other corporations that they also disclose their rates of coronavirus infection.
“We all have a direct interest in going back to some edition of general aid and for our communities and the economy,” he said on his blog.
Amazon’s pandemic shipping and security difficulties led to innovations for its competitors, adding Target and Walmart, but Amazon’s profits increased by 40% to $88. 9 billion in its first hit in the full quarter due to the coronavirus that fueled the economic recession.
