There are 19,816 Amazon workers who tested positive or “presumed positive” for COVID-19, about 1.44% of frontline employees. To say the same Amazon on the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://blog.aboutamazon.com/operations/update-on-covid-19-testing?ots=1&ascsubtag=[]vg[e]21261982[r]hwupgrade.it

The same employees collaborated in the company’s warehouses to determine how many of their colleagues were infected, according to reports.
The disclosure by Amazon is undoubtedly very interesting, because in contrast to what it stated Dave Clark, Amazon’s senior vice president of global operations, in May. In fact, during an interview with CBS, he stated that “it is not particularly useful to know the total number of cases”.
According to Amazon, the cases detected and ascertained are lower than the estimates (33,952), measured on the basis of the total number of employees compared with the rate of cases of the general population reported by Johns Hopkins University. We do not know, however, how many Amazon employees have died due to the COVID-19 infection, at least not from official sources.
Recently the NBC stated that at least 10 Amazon employees have died from the disease, topic not discussed on the post. The global e-commerce giant, however, claims to conduct thousands of tests per day, with a goal of running 50,000 tests per day on 650 sites by November. The company also claims to have distributed over 100 million face masks, instituted temperature controls and introduced “advanced cleaning procedures” at its sites.
