7-Eleven reopens after brush with COVID-19

7-Eleven Canada reopened its Penticton outlet Saturday after a 10-day closure that resulted from an employee testing positive for COVID-19.

The retailer on Jan. 14 sent home all of its Penticton employees to self-isolate with pay as it cleaned and sanitized the store.

The company said in a statement it has carefully followed public health guidelines and drawn up safety plans for each of its 214 convenience stores in B.C.
