A spokesperson for IKEA Australia confirmed the case to 7NEWS.com.au and said the warehouse was not forced to close.

“They last worked at DC / CDC on Wednesday July 8th. The source of their infection was not an IKEA unit. “
IKEA was in constant communication with the NSW health department and the employee’s colleagues should not be forced to self-isolate, the spokesperson said.
The infection was reported to the distribution center, not to be confused with the nearby IKEA store.
IKEA’s website says several changes have been made to ensure customers can shop safely throughout the pandemic.
