Out of fear of spreading coronavirus, Burberry’s only warehouse in New
Jersey has closed after three employees there tested positive for COVID-19.
The news was reported by Bloomberg.
Burberry has sent a memo to employees saying the facilities will be closed
indefinitely. Burberry’s New Jersey warehouse has a total of 300 employees,
and due to their robust workforce they had trouble putting social
distancing measures in place.
The company had attempted to stagger shifts so no more than 50 people would
be at work at one time, but it didn’t prove to be enough. Burberry also
says they did provide hand sanitizer, masks, and wipes to employees. The
company plans to continue paying workers full wages during the shutdown
period. Burberry is currently paying all of their employees across the
globe, even those who aren’t working due to many countries and states still
being on lockdown.
Burberry is still continuing to fulfill orders in the U.S., but they will
likely be coming from warehouses in other regions, so orders might take
longer. New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are considering a slow phase
of reopening businesses, with plans to start with construction and
manufacturing first. As for where warehouses could fit in, that seems too
early to be determined, but they will likely be in the first or second
phase of reopening businesses.
