'We would like to get in there': Health officials frustrated as over 30 Amazon workers contract COVID-19

Amazon officials have not fully cooperated with public health workers trying to track cases, said a health officer.

Freiheit, who has not been able to find out the total number of employees, said she can't tell how severe the outbreak is without having these numbers.

For every positive Amazon employee from Kenosha County, staff has asked Amazon managers for a list of employees who had contact with the person. In some cases, they have not received a list, Freiheit said. A county health department offer to help with on-site safety measures was rebuffed, Freiheit said. The department has helped with worker protection at more than 260 businesses in the county, she said.

“I wouldn’t want to strong-arm anybody,” she said. “We want Amazon to work with us. We’re just having a difficult time even getting to that conversation.”Workers are frustrated by the company’s response to the pandemic.
