MT. VERNON — An employee of Kroger in Mt. Vernon has tested positive for COVID-19.

The associate confirmed to WMIX News that they have tested positive for COVID-19 and are currently in isolation.

We have reached out to Kroger for further comment on if more employees have tested positive for the novel coronavirus and what they are doing to protect the public. The Mt. Vernon store manager referred us to public relations at Kroger’s corporate office. As of this time, Kroger’s Louisville Division public relations representative, who represents the Mt. Vernon store, has not responded to our repeated requests for comment.
