(April 21, 2020) The Ocean Pines Association Board of Directors on Tuesday released a statement about an employee who tested positive for COVID-19.

The Association notified staff earlier today.

The Board’s statement follows:

Regrettably, symptoms of the COVID-19 pandemic have been recognized here in Ocean Pines. An OPA staff member in the golf maintenance group has tested positive for the virus. Fortunately, given the job responsibilities, this individual has had no contact with Association members and the required actions have already been taken, per CDC guidelines. The staff member has been sent home and will be in self-quarantine for the recommended 14 days.

Other OPA staff who may have been in contact with this individual have also been contacted and advised to take the necessary precautions per the CDC guidelines, including the 14-day quarantine requirement. The cleaning and disinfecting of work areas has been in place and will continue for the foreseeable future.

Please note that practicing social distancing, wearing a mask and washing your hands often is of paramount importance, especially at this time. Let’s all step up and do our part in helping to prevent the spread of the virus to our family, friends and members of the Ocean Pines community.
