What about directly affected customers?? Have they been notified? This is what I have been saying for a while now. So anyone that has been to the new HEB on or before 9 June, should go get tested because you do not know if you may have had contact with the Partner while you were shopping. Maybe you were looking for something and stopped and asked them for help. Maybe they were your cashier. You don't know, and they aren't telling you. So now I have to go back and see what days I was in the store to see if I should go get tested. And for the people about to say HIPPA.... what about social contact tracing?? doesn't that violate HIPPA? But that is ok to do..... Sorry, cannot pick and choose when we follow the rules. When it comes to the masses SAFETY...... do what is right.
