OPA worker tests positive for COVID-19

(Dec. 8, 2020) Ocean Pines Association General Manager John Viola on Tuesday issued a statement about a worker who tested positive for COVID-19.   

The statement follows:    

“A member of our Rec Department recently tested positive for COVID-19. The employee was last at work on Dec. 4, and also passed through the Administration Building for a brief period on Dec. 3.  

“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. In addition to reporting the positive test to the Health Department, we were able to determine who had close contact with the employee in question and communicated directly with those individuals.  

“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.”
