Add Emerald City Supermarket at Six Roads, St Philip, to the growing list of businesses closed as public health authorities mount a massive contact tracing exercise to determine how many people contracted COVID-19 during a Boxing Day bus crawl.<\/p>\n
On Saturday morning, management announced the supermarket would not be open because eight members of staff attended the bus crawl that has now been identified as a super spreader.<\/p>\n
As a result, they are being tested at the assigned polyclinic, and \u201cout of an abundance of caution, we have called in a medical team to test other members of our Emerald City staff who could have been in contact with those persons\u201d, a public notice said.<\/p>\n
To date, some of the other businesses affected include Red Door Lounge and West Bar Barbados in Holetown, St James; One Eleven East at Speightstown, St Peter; and Caf\u00e9 Sol in St Lawrence, Christ Church.<\/p>\n
On Friday night during an address to the nation, it was announced that at least 45 people from the bus crawl \u2013 the majority of whom are staffers at Her Majesty\u2019s Prison Dodds \u2013 had so far tested positive for the virus. (PR\/SAT)<\/p>\n
