Look’s Marketplace will reopen at 9.m. March 27 after a one-day closure when it learned an employee had contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
After speaking to Sanford Health’s chief medical officer, the business received advice on how to handle the situation and learned it could remain open.
“After discussions with her and further internal discussions with our employees, we are comfortable reopening our store,” Look’s said in a statement. “She advised us that our current situation does not warrant a complete shutdown. We need to continue to practice social distancing as well as continue our constant hand washing and disinfecting of surfaces.”
Look’s will have social distance markers in the store as well as queuing procedures. All “to go” orders will be paid for and picked up in the bar area where there is more room to social distance. Use the east entrance for all pick up orders and the south entrance for grocery.
“Again, we did lean heavily on the medical community on this decision and consulted our employee leadership before deciding to reopen,” the business said.
