Spokeswoman Robin DeMonia released the following statement: "Earlier this week one of our residents was sent to the hospital for evaluation," DeMonia said. "We were then notified Wednesday afternoon that the resident’s COVID-19 test result was positive. The resident is still in the hospital at this time. After receiving the diagnosis, we immediately contacted the Alabama Department of Public Health and the Jefferson County Department of Health and began implementing additional protocols to help ensure the safety of our residents and employees. We started testing of all employees and residents for COVID-19 as soon as testing kits arrived on Thursday. While testing continues, protective protocols remain in place, and access to our facility is restricted in accordance with federal healthcare guidelines. Only visits that are medically necessary or related to hospice will be allowed, and then only under restricted conditions."
Publix purchased the former OfficeMax distribution center in McCalla, Alabama, in 2015. The new distribution center should be opening soon.
I assume McCalla Distribution will have at least a high velocity warehouse. Another warehouse is being built on the site.
