A Port Coquitlam worker in his 30s who had tested positive for COVID19 died in his sleep last week after battling the virus for 10 days. The man, who worked at the Nutri-Nation Functional Foods plant in Port Coquitlam, is said to have caught the virus outside of the workplace, according to Aaron Schroeder, the operations manager and COVID-19

task force director of the family business. “It’s a wake-up call to us all,” said Schroeder. “He was like a brother and a son to me at the same time. It’s been very challenging.” A second worker who tested positive for the virus, but has yet to develop symptoms, is thought to have had contact outside of work with the man who passed away. Neither is thought to have brought the virus into the workplace. Schroeder said people in human resources had been following up with the late worker twice a day over the period of his sickness. see
