From Don Lehman, the director of public affairs for Warren County:
For a business, an exposure to COVID is not an instant mandate to close or even to announce the problem. Contact tracers “look at the circumstances of these visits to businesses, and then decide whether a public advisory is warranted.”
The circumstances cover the sort of exposure the business had, that is, whether the person wore a mask, was symptomatic, or was outdoors or in a well ventilated room, among others.
If the county’s public health office believes its warranted, the business is added to the list and the public is notified.
Public Health works with businesses where clusters of numerous cases are found to go over cleaning protocols and discuss shutdowns to ensure disinfection.
"Businesses in our county have been very cooperative throughout this process," Lehman wrote.
