A Wawa in Towamencin Township had to temporarily close on Friday evening due to an employee testing positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
The letter, posted to the door of the Wawa located at 200 Forty Food Road on Friday evening, read:
Dear Customer,
Wawa has been notified by an associate who recently worked in our store located at 200 Forty Foot Road, Hatfield, PA, 19440, they have received a positive test result for COVID-19.
In accordance with our stringent protocols, we took immediate actions and closed the store to have it professionally cleaned and disinfected. The store will reopen as soon as possible with associates from neighboring stores, if needed. We are working with the Department of Health on notifications to any associate who may have had close contact with the associate. The last date the associate worked was March 28.
As always, the health and safety of our customers and associates is a top priority. We will do everything we can to support our impacted associate and take all necessary steps to monitor, safeguard and protect our associates and customers.
We encourage you to reach out to the local Department of Health if you have any concerns.
We thank you for your patience as we navigate these challenging times together.
As of Saturday morning, the location has since reopened. North Penn Now has reached out to the press team at Wawa for further comment, regarding both the quick reopening and the measures taken to ensure customer and employee safety. We will update this article when we receive a response.
