American coffee chain giant Starbucks has shut a store in Seattle city
after one of the outlet's staff members was tested positive for the
novel coronavirus.
Rossann Williams, Executive Vice President of
Starbucks, said in statement on Friday that the company first learned of
the employee on Thursday and quickly took steps to close the store for
"a deep clean overnight", reports Xinhua news agency.
The
employee is now in self-quarantine at home, Williams said in the
statement, adding: "Because this is our first confirmed case, we felt it
was best to reach out and share this update with you all."
Williams
said the company will take similar measures, including store closures
and deep cleaning, if more COVID-19 cases occur at its outlets in the
future.
She said the store will be reopened after further
preventative cleaning and be "staffed by partners who have no known
impact from COVID-19".
Washington state is home to the first confirmed COVID-19 case in the US.
As of Friday, the deadly coronavirus has infected 329 people and killed 15 others in the US.
