Dutch Bros. Coffee Employee Tests Positive for COVID-19

Dutch Bros. reports that an employee who worked at the 3265 S. Rainbow Blvd. location of the coffee shop tested positive for COVID-19 on April 10.

The unidentified employee worked at the location on March 18-21, 24, and 27-29 and started showing symptoms on the final day of work on March 31. Employees who came in contact are in self-isolation and receiving paid leave, Dutch Bros. reports on its website.

The coffee shop reports the location went through a deep cleaning and worked with public health officials on any additional protocols needed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Employees now must increase the number of times they wash their hands and sanitize the workplace. Customers are no longer allowed to use personal mugs at the drive-thru and cannot walk up to order coffee. Dutch Bros. also added a cashless payment system and instituted mask policies.
