Amazon-owned Whole Foods fired a worker who had been tracking COVID-19 cases across the grocery chain's stores

Whole Foods terminated a worker this week in Orange County, California, who had been keeping a public list of COVID-19 cases confirmed at the company's grocery stores across the country,The worker, Katie Doan, told Vice that Whole Foods fired her for "time theft" after she took a 45-minute break to recover from a panic attack despite having had an arrangement with managers for years to take such breaks.

Both Whole Foods and parent company Amazon have refused to disclose how many employees have tested positive for the disease at their facilities, despite calls from workers, activists, and lawmakers for more transparency.

"Any suggestion that the separation of this Team Member is related to any form of retaliation is completely false," a Whole Foods spokesperson told Business Insider. "The Team Member admitted to violating well-established policies, leaving work for long periods of time without clocking out and leaving Team Members and her department without support. We followed standard company practices when investigating the Team Member's infractions and throughout the separation process," the spokesperson said.
