14 H-E-B employees test positive for coronavirus since Monday; more than 120 cases announced in June

Fourteen H-E-B employees in San Antonio have tested positive for COVID-19 since Monday, according to the grocery chain’s website.

In June, more than 120 H-E-B employees working at grocery stores in San Antonio have been infected with COVID-19, including the 24 cases this past weekend.

Since March, the grocery store chain has regularly announced on its website when one of its employees test positive and has done so because it believes “transparency is important,” according to an email response. H-E-B does not reveal the employee’s identity and only lets the public know at what stores there was a positive case. Walmart and Target have both told mySA.com it will not release that information to the public.
