Amazon has confirmed that a warehouse worker at its delivery center in Queens, New York tested positive for Covid-19 and that it temporarily shut down the facility, as first reported by the Atlantic and confirmed by Motherboard.

The warehouse closure is the first reported in one of Amazon’s US warehouses, and marks the arrival of an inevitable threat to Amazon’s vast logistics empire. Experts say Amazon Prime could falter as the novel coronavirus spreads, with warehouse closures, shortages of goods, and trade problems likely. Amazon warehouse workers in Queens and other locations have said that production quotas have increased as customers rely more heavily on Amazon prime. Workers say they refused to work after Amazon asked them to return to work last night.
