Why don’t we know what company so we can avoid them? Not making that known is a real danger to the public

PermalinkIt would be nice to know NOW, today , not later what company had the employees tested. I would want to avoid it also. I am a nurse and I sure do not want it. Or they don't want us to know which is negligence on the part of the employer. Maybe tomorrow we will know. I am glad however that the employer thought of having everyone tested to help prevent the spread.
