A Scots Amazon warehouse has been hit with a coronavirus outbreak with at least six drivers testing positive.
Around 24 people have been told to self-isolate after at least six contract delivery drivers tested positive at Bathgate’s Amazon warehouse in West Lothian.
Our sister title Edinburgh Live report that the outbreak is understood to have started at a small office in the warehouse and moved to more than 30 contractors use.
Two people are said to have tested positive on Monday and Tuesday last week while another four Covid cases were confirmed between Friday and Sunday, January 24.
A spokesperson for Amazon told the Daily Record said: "We are supporting the individuals who are now in quarantine.
"Since the early days of this situation, we have worked closely with local authorities to proactively respond, ensuring we continue to serve customers while taking care of our associates and we’re following all guidelines from local officials about the operations of our buildings.
"We have implemented proactive measures at our facilities to protect associates including increased cleaning at all facilities, maintaining social distance in our sites, and adding distance between drivers and customers when making deliveries."
They say the workers caught Covid despite perspex screens in place at the office.
