Los Angeles Apparel founder Dov Charney denied last month that there is an "outbreak" of COVID-19 at his company, but local health officials say the brand — which was shut down for weeks earlier this year after 375 employees tested positive for the coronavirus — has reported two more cases of the viral disease over 14 days.
