In a letter to employees that was shared with Katy Times, Bridgestone Retail Operations which owns and operates the Firestone Complete Auto Care location at 2440 Fry Road in Houston has gotten a presumptive positive diagnosis for novel coronavirus – also known as COVID-19.

“In an abundance of caution, we have closed this store location and required all teammates at this store to self-quarantine,” the letter, which was confirmed to be accurate by Leslie Boehms, communications manager for Bridgestone Americas, Inc.

The test results are in the process of being verified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Boehms said in the letter.

The notification suggests that any customers who visited the store since Feb. 28 be encouraged to contact their health care provider immediately if they experience any symptoms associated with COVID-19. The company has been reaching out to those customers it has contact information for in order to notify them of the situation, Boehms said.

Boehms said the company hired a contractor to come into the facility and completely sanitize the business to protect future customers and staff from COVID-19. That sanitization has already been completed.

This Firestone location remains closed at this time while staff complete their self-quarantine. No timeline has been provided for when the store might reopen.
