In April, Cumberland Farms shut down two Westport stores after a delivery driver tested positive for COVID-19 and now a third store has closed. The Cumberland Farms store at 757 Ashley Blvd. in New Bedford closed its doors after one of their employees tested positive for the coronavirus.

The temporary closing on Tuesday evening was to allow a crew to disinfect, clean and sanitize the entire store and reopen at some point next week.

In a statement by the company, they stated “We are making every effort to provide the affected Team Member and our broader team with the necessary resources and support. We are taking all appropriate steps following guidance from local health officials.

We are grateful to all our customers for your patience and understanding during this time. All Team Members that work at these stores have been contacted and advised to follow CDC-recommended guidelines.”
