Hey there, time traveller!

An employee at the Safeway Gas Bar in Brandon tested positive for COVID-19, a spokesperson for parent company Sobeys told the Sun via email Thursday afternoon.
According to the email sent by Sobeys’ lead of communications and public affairs Violet MacLeod, the employee last worked at the gas bar on April 30.
“All measures recommended by Public Health have been implemented fully and are complete,” MacLeod wrote. “We have been in touch with our teammate to ensure they are well cared for and supported throughout their recovery.”
The gas bar is still open, with MacLeod saying the facility is following all Manitoba public health measures. Enhanced cleaning measures, like sanitizing high-touch surfaces like fuel pumps, are being carried out. Employees are being tasked with washing hands every 15 minutes.
MacLeod did not say if any other employees were being tested or if contact tracing had been done in response to the diagnosis.
The Sun did not immediately receive a response to followup questions.
