An employee at the Amazon warehouse north of Calgary has tested positive for COVID-19 and the company says it's taking "extreme measures" to protect other employees. The 600,000 square-foot warehouse in the community of Balzac, Alta., is just north of the Calgary city limits. "We are following guidelines from health officials and medical experts, and are taking extreme measures to ensure the safety of employees at our site." Amazon says it fired Smalls for repeatedly violating orders to quarantine himself after he had contact with an infected employee. Smalls denies he broke any Amazon health policies, and says he's being punished for speaking out.
