Terry Gorman, CEO and Administrator of St. Luke Health Services said, “We continue to conduct regular testing according to county health department, state and federal guidelines and promptly notify our staff, residents and families in the event of a positive result in keeping with our protocol. The three St. Luke Health Services employees testing positive for COVID-19 were asymptomatic and remain in isolation at their homes. We continue with necessary precautionary measures as our medical team monitors all residents and staff. Currently there are no residents or other staff at St. Luke who are displaying symptoms of a respiratory illness. As the rate of infection continues to increase in our community, we urge everyone to protect themselves and others.”
As the virus continues to spread in communities throughout the county, the health department reminds people that they must be diligent about wearing their face masks in stores and businesses, practicing social distancing and frequent hand-washing.

That means that students who chose to leave and go back to their home county and test positive there will be included on the college’s dashboard, but not the county’s. Their positive result would be reported to their home county, not here.
