Amazon has confirmed that at least one worker at its largest New York City warehouse tested positive for Covid-19. The facility, which is located in Staten Island and called JFK8, remains open.

On Tuesday, custodians at the 2,500-worker facility sanitized and cleaned, while workers continued to pick and pack boxes for delivery and received little information from management, according to Athena, a national coalition of 50 grassroots organizations working to challenge Amazon’s corporate power. Amazon warehouse workers with Athena claim that multiple workers at the Staten Island Warehouse have tested positive, but Amazon has only confirmed one so far.
