* 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.
