Workers at Amazon’s Eastvale, California, fulfillment center filed complaints with California and Riverside County regulators on April 8, asking for investigations into what they say are dangerous working conditions that pose a threat to public health during the coronavirus pandemic.
The fulfillment center was the first in Southern California to report an employee testing positive for Covid-19 in late March, with a second case confirmed shortly after. On April 2, The Times confirmed that a third worker at the same facility, which Amazon refers to as LGB3 for short, had tested positive for the novel coronavirus, and that cases had also occurred at five other Amazon facilities in the region.
