* Full records of warehouse employees who received negative test results during symptomatic testing were not available, so the percentage of positive test results for symptomatic testing could not be determined.
† Twelve new employees were tested at the screening testing event before starting work; they are excluded from analysis because they did not have any exposure to the work site before being tested. Seven employees had indeterminate results at the screening testing; five were retested and found to be negative, two were not retested and are excluded from analysis.
