On 09/21/2021, LPA had spoken to Staff 1 by phone to follow-up on the facility’s COVID-19 positive cases. On that date, Staff 1 stated to LPA that Staff 1 had started developing symptoms of COVID-19 “last week” and was last at the facility on 09/16/2021. Staff 1 had stated that Staff 1 was quarantining at home and would be allowed to return to work on 09/25/2021, per Stanislaus County Public Health Department.

On 10/07/2021, LPA and Staff 1 watched security video footage from the facility, which revealed that Staff 1 had transported children to and from school on 09/15/2021 – 09/17/2021, and had transported children to school on 09/20/2021. This footage revealed that Staff 1 had been present at the facility on 09/17/2021, despite having previously stated that Staff 1’s last day at the facility was 09/16/2021. Furthermore, footage revealed that Staff 1 transported children to school on 09/20/2021, while pending COVID-19 test results. Staff 1 stated that Staff 1 only transported children on those days and did not provide care inside the classrooms. LPA explained to Staff 1 that transporting children is also providing care and children can still be exposed to communicable diseases in a vehicle. Staff 1 had also informed LPA that Staff 1 began developing COVID-19 symptoms on the night of 09/17/2021.

LPA emailed Licensee with a copy of PIN 21-18-CCP, released on 06/29/2021, which provides the link to the “Guidance for Child Care Providers and Programs.” This guidance explains that the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Program (CPP) written plan is required under the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards. Details and a template for the plan can be accessed through the California Department of Industrial Relation's COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards webpage. Furthermore, the guidance explains that each facility should have a written plan for when a child or staff member has been exposed to someone with COVID-19, has symptoms of COVID-19 or tests positive for COVID-19. Licensee shall submit this plan, along with the CPP written plan to Community Care Licensing (CCL) by 01/13/2022.

Based upon observations, and information gathered through interviews, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegation is found to be substantiated.
