Another OPA worker tests positive for COVID-19

(Sept. 3, 2020) Ocean Pines Association General Manager John Viola on Thursday issued the following statement about an Aquatics worker who tested positive for COVID-19: 

“Another worker in the Aquatics department tested positive for COVID-19. The employee has not returned to work and will not until it is safe to do so, consistent with CDC protocols. We notified the local health department of the situation and will cooperate fully with public health officials.   

“We understand that the employee had no close contact with residents and minimal contact with other employees. We do not believe this employee had contact with the employee testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this month.  

“We continue to stress the need to practice sound hygiene by frequently washing hands thoroughly, maintaining 6 feet of separation between others, and wearing masks when indoors or social distancing is not possible.”
