25 | Covid-19 State of Emergency
On July 23, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Leilani Curtis conducted an unannounced Case Management Inspection via Zoom in reference to a child who tested positive for COVID-19. LPA met with Director Tamara Holthaus and proceeded to tour the facility. Present today were 26 children and 9 staff members. Appropriate ratios were observed. All staff members have the required background clearances and are associated to the facility.
The child who was diagnosed positive for Covid-19 was last in the facility on July 2, 2020. The child was in a stable group of seven children and one teacher. On Thursday, July 9, 2020 the facility was advised that the child’s parent was diagnosed positive for Covid-19. The child took the Covid-19 test on Monday, July 13, 2020 and was diagnosed positive on Thursday, July 16, 2020. The child’s parent notified the facility the same day, July 16, 2020.
Ms. Holthaus states that the Department of Public Health, staff and all parents with children enrolled at the facility were notified of the Covid-19 exposure. The child’s classroom was closed for two weeks beginning July 3, 2020 and the parents of children in that classroom were asked to keep their children home for those two weeks. While the classroom was closed it was disinfected and deep cleaned. The classroom reopened on Friday, July 17, 2020. The child who tested positive for Covid-19 will remain quarantined at home for 14 days beginning on the date of the diagnosis which was July 16, 2020.
