Because of possible COVID exposure of employees in the Kanawha Judicial Annex, the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department recommends employees do the following:
Employees must isolate themselves until April 6. Employees should monitor their temperatures twice daily. If fevers increase or they have other symptoms—cough, shortness of breath—they should contact their health care providers.
The general definition of isolation is that an individual should stay in and around his or her home. It is not advisable to venture out for groceries or prescriptions. Confine yourself to your home or yard and avoid contact with other individuals.
Employees may contact the health department 24/7 at 304-348-1088 if they have questions, or are encouraged to contact their health care providers. The number for the employee clinic at the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority is 304-346-8877.
