"Cortes told her supermarket manager she wasn’t feeling well and had a bad cough in late March, but her boss wouldn’t allow her to leave early and said she needed to be back the next day. The single mother died on April 9 of complications from Covid-19." https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/05/24/grocery-workers-coronavirus-risks/

"After Cortes died, management sent out a letter to employees that noted 'the passing of one of our colleagues.' It made no mention of her name or how she had died."

"William Harwood, a Lidl spokesman, said the company had “no reports indicating that she was sick while working. Our policy is clear that employees who are sick should stay home.”

"A 63-year-old employee at the Best Market supermarket in Long Island’s Franklin Square in New York, said she believes a manager waited more than a week to inform her in late April that her co-worker in the cramped meat department had tested positive for the coronavirus.

"She said the human resources manager offered her five days of paid leave, saying that it was sufficient time off because she had been exposed over a week ago and wasn’t showing symptoms.

"She believes the manager delayed informing her because the store had been so short-staffed, and she worried she could still get sick and infect her co-workers."
