A spokeswoman for Stop & Shop said Friday that three workers in the company’s Freetown warehouse tested positive for COVID-19.

Maria Fruci said the company has since cleaned the South Main Street facility and asked employees who had been in close proximity to the workers who tested positive to self-quarantine.

“We have conducted an extensive deep cleaning of the entire facility after we were notified of each instance in strict accordance with guidelines from the CDC and state and local public health officials. The associates will not return to work until cleared by public health officials as no longer contagious for COVID-19,” Fruci said in an email.

Fruci added, “We are continuing to insist that any other associates who feel sick at any time stay home.”

Fruci said the company is “continuing to implement extensive measures to help ensure all our stores and facilities are safe.”

The spokeswoman indicated that “3rd party companies” work with Stop & Shop employees at the warehouse, performing services such as unloading. But she said she cannot disclose the medical statuses of workers who are not employed directly by Stop & Shop.

“We want our associates to be able to focus on their physical health at this time - without having to worry about financial stability,” Fruci said. “Along with a 10% pay raise for our union associates, we are providing two weeks of paid sick leave for associates under mandated quarantine. Associates in these scenarios would not need to use sick time or other paid time off for the time they are quarantined.”

The Freetown facility distributes to hundreds of Stop & Shop stores across Massachusetts, Rhode Island and eastern Connecticut, Fruci said.
