A staff member at the YMCA has tested positive for COVID-19. The Y which is located at 900 McAdam Street in Taylorville announced the positive result late Wednesday evening. The YMCA immediately notified the Christian County Health Department and the Chris-Mont EMA. Additional contact tracing is being completed and the facility is not required to close after cleaning was done due to the very limited potential of exposure in this case.
If you were recently at the facility you wouldn’t meet exposure guidelines of less than six feet for more than 15 minutes, therefore by IDPH guidelines, your risk is quite low. If you do feel sick, please contact your local physician for more information.
The Chris-Mont EMA wants to remind everyone that each positive COVID case of a staff member at a business is reviewed on a case by case basis. Every scenario is looked at including building layout, ventilation, people being traced answering their phone and proper protocols being followed. Continue to wash your hands, wear a mask, and social distance. For more information, contact the Chris-Mont EMA at 532-9560, or Christian County Health Department at 824-4113.
