Some companies have learned how to manage COVID-19 outbreaks among their employees by turning to medical experts to walk them through the steps they need to take to minimize the spread.
Freemont Brewing Co. in Seattle, which operates two brewing facilities and the Urban Beer Garden tasting room, had one employee test positive in June, leading the company to shut down its operations for several days to sanitize and have the rest of the staff get tested.
“That was a lesson learned, because we realized that this is going to keep happening again and again, and we can't keep shutting down the business,” said Sara Nelson, co-founder and owner.
