Officials from a Canadian Tire distribution centre in Brampton have acknowledged several workers have tested positive for COVID-19 at the facility.

A spokesperson for the company said six workers had recently tested positive at the distribution centre located at 8550 Goreway Dr.

The company said that contract tracing by Peel Public Health determined that the cases were not spread through the workplace and that the six workers have been on paid isolation leave.
