Woolworths shuts down two Melbourne warehouses



Woolworths has suspended operations at its Produce Distribution Centre (MPDC) and National Distribution Centre (MNDC) in Melbourne after 12 more team members tested positive to coronavirus over the weekend, taking the total to 17 since July 13.

Both distribution centres have undergone forensic cleaning and Woolworths will work with the DHHS to make a call on when to reopen, with alternate distribution sites to stock shops across Victoria.

"The first case was a contractor at the MNDC with Woolworths advised on 13 July. Woolworths was then made aware of two further cases on Thursday evening, 16 July and a further two cases Friday evening, 17 July. Four of these cases were reported from the MNDC, with one reported from the MPDC," a statment read.

"On the afternoon of Saturday 18 July, Woolworths was notified of a further six cases at the MPDC and made the decision to suspend all operations that evening. Woolworths learned of a further six positive tests from the MPDC on Sunday 19 July.

"Woolworths suspended operations at the MNDC on Sunday evening. There have been four cases at the site — the last of which was reported on Friday 17 July."

The statement also said the company would be doing its best "to ensure no team members are financially disadvantaged ... if they contract COVID-19".
