The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department Saturday announced two more day care workers have tested positive for COVID-19 at drive-up clinics held by KCHD and the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority.
The workers are from two facilities: Zion Child Development Center in Charleston and My Family Preschool and Childcare Center in Hurricane.
Zion Child Development Center has been closed to deep clean and may be able to reopen again next week. My Family Preschool and Childcare Center has been closed during the duration of the pandemic and remain closed.
“We hate that there have been positive cases, but this underscores the need to test our daycare workers,” said Dr. Sherri Young, health officer and executive director of KCHD. “We encourage those who work in day care centers to come to our drive-up clinics and get tested.”
Drive-up clinics are scheduled from 10 to 2 p.m. the following days:
- Monday, May 11 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 708 First Street, Montgomery
- Tuesday, May 12, at Schoenbaum Center, 1701 5th Ave, Charleston
