The North Texas Food Bank announced Tuesday that an employee tested positive for the coronavirus.

The employee is a member of the transportation team at the food bank, which is in Plano. The patient was last onsite March 27 and has been self-quarantined ever since. The nonprofit said it learned of the positive case on Monday. They had initially said that it had come to their attention late Sunday.

The employee came into contact with a limited number of people, and the food bank is working to notify them. No further information about the patient was made available.

“The health and safety of our employees and the community that we serve is our top priority,” said North Texas Food Bank president and CEO Trisha Cunningham in a prepared statement. “Our food bank team is a family. We are praying for this team member and wishing them a speedy recovery."

Cunningham said the organization remains fully operational and is following sanitary and disinfecting guidelines as recommended by the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention.

This past weekend, the food bank called on the Texas National Guard to help with food distribution at its mobile pantries. The nonprofit has been operating drive-through services at locations throughout North Texas for several weeks to help meet the demand of those facing food insecurity during the coronavirus crisis.

The nonprofit’s mobile pantry distributions have recently surged from 1,000 to almost 2,000 households, the food bank said. Under normal circumstances, about 800,000 people in North Texas face food insecurity, according to the North Texas Food Bank.
