WATCH: Denmark has reopened schools for students under the age of 12 after a month in lockdown.
Health officials in suburban Denver said Thursday they closed a Walmart Supercenter in Aurora, Colorado, after three people associated with the location died from COVID-19.
A 72-year-old woman who worked there, her 63-year-old husband and a 69-year-old security contractor have died, the Tri-County Health Department said in a statement. Six other employees have coronavirus, and another three are awaiting test results. The department said it received"a series of complaints" from employees and shoppers about improper social distancing and workers not wearing masks at the store.
Walmart said in a statement that it will sanitize the store. It said it had installed plexiglass barriers at checkout counters, and install floor decals promoting social distancing. "We recognize how hard this is for our associates in Aurora and everyone impacted by this difficult situation," it said."We want to do everything we can to support them at this time. We will continue to work closely with Tri-County Health Department and take additional steps as needed to re-open the store."
