Heinen's Temporarily Closed After Worker Contracted Coronavirus

STRONGSVILLE, OH — Customers were once again allowed to shop in the Heinen's grocery store, 18300 Royalton Road Sunday morning in Strongsville, one day after workers deep-cleaned the store after an employee tested positive for the coronavirus.

According to store officials, the store employee is now in self-quarantine, and has not been to work at the store since Thursday, April 16.

In a statement issued by Tom and Jeff Heinen, the store was closed Saturday as a professional cleaning crew deep-cleaned the sales area and backroom areas. They followed U.S. Center for Disease Control guidelines in their deep clean, they said.

"In all of our stores, we will continue to follow our already-stringent sanitation practices and have increased the frequency of our cleaning to continue to protect the safety of our customers and associates," the Heinens said this weekend.

Heinen's has already put a number of social distancing practices in place, including limited store hours, a one-hour time block between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. each day for seniors or immunocompromised shoppers, occupancy limits and a temporary halt on returns/refunds.
