Calgary Alberta - Two employees at Canadian Pacific's (CP) headquarters have tested positive for COVID-19, according to a spokesperson.
 
To the best of the company's knowledge, the cases are unrelated, according to spokesperson Salem Woodrow.
 
"CP will continue to follow best practices to protect the safety and well-being of our employees. CP took immediate action to thoroughly clean the areas the two employees frequented," Woodrow said in an email.
 
The two employees identified who they were in close contact with, who were notified in turn.
 
All have been asked to self-isolate and won't return to CP offices until they are cleared by health authorities, Woodrow said.
 
"Even though the risk to other employees is low, CP is acting out of an abundance of caution, and in the best interests of our workforce and their families," Woodrow said.
