Bristol Borough’s lone grocery store will be closed this week due to a positive COVID-19 test result from a staff member.
A family member of an employee at the Bristol Selecto Supermarket at the corner of Pond and Walnut streets reported to LevittownNow.com late Sunday night that the business planned to close for some time due to an employee who tested positive. The store confirmed the news in a statement on their Facebook page just before midnight.

“On Sunday afternoon October 18, 2020 we were informed of an employee who tested positive for COVID-19. After being informed we closed the store early to start deep cleaning the store. Out of an abundance of caution we also made the decision to close the store for the rest of this week to allow our staff to self quarantine. The employee was someone with limited contact with customers. We are doing everything recommended by the CDC to keep everyone safe during this time,” the post read.
In April, the store closed for deep cleaning after an employee came down with the virus.
As of last Thursday, Bucks County had reported 8,885 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 534 deaths, and 7,952 recoveries since the pandemic began locally in March.
