Workers test positive at two more Amazon locations

In addition to the Amazon locations CNN has previously reported where workers have tested positive for Covid-19, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed to CNN Monday that at least one worker tested positive in both Kent, Washington, and Eastvale, California.

The spokesperson also said that Amazon has made employees at the sites aware of the confirmed cases and asked anyone who was in close contact with the diagnosed individuals to stay home with pay for 14 days in self-quarantine.

“We’re continuing to monitor the situation in our facilities and corporate offices, and we are taking proactive measures to protect employees and associates who have been in contact with anyone who has been diagnosed or becomes ill," according to an Amazon spokesperson. "Like most global companies, we’ve had employees affected by this, and we’re doing all that we can to protect our employees and take the proper precautions as stated in WHO guidelines.

Amazon has offered two additional weeks of paid leave for workers who test positive for Covid-19 and for those who come into contact with the individuals who tested positive. Workers are also allowed unlimited unpaid time off through the end of April.
