According to a news release Monday, one support worker who worked at the end of last week took an at home COVID test and came up positive, but other than that County Administrator Chris Coates says more and more staff are returning from either illness or household impacts, which he is hoping is an indicator that the variant may have peaked in the nursing home’s community.

Coates also said that the facility has several boxes of the blue surgical masks that are set to expire in March, so those are being kept at the main entrance for folks to take home with them.
