Lowe’s In York “Extensively Cleaned” After Employee Tests Positive For COVID-19

YORK, S.C. — A Lowe’s employee in York has tested positive for COVID-19, Lowe’s confirmed Tuesday. That’s according to our news partner, WBTV.

Company officials say the employee worked at the Lowe’s on E. Liberty Street and last worked on March 31.

WBTV reports, “the associate has been quarantined & is receiving care,” a Lowe’s spokesperson said. “In an abundance of caution, associates who had worked closely with this individual over a period of time have been put on a paid leave.”
