Officials worn of potential high risk COVID-19 exposure to more than 300 people at Springfield family center

(From the Springfield-Greene County Health Department)

The Springfield-Greene County Health Department is notifying the public of potential high-risk community exposures from one COVID-19 positive individual.

The person potentially exposed more than 300 people at the Dan Kinney Family Center at 2701 S. Blackman Rd. over the course of several days. 

The individual wore a mask while entering and exiting the building but was not masked while working out. 








The person visited the location on the following dates: 

Friday, July 24: Worked out from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. (infectious but not symptomatic)
Saturday, July 25: Worked out from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. (infectious but not symptomatic)
Sunday, July 26: Worked out from 10:40 a.m. to 12:40 pm. (infectious and symptomatic)
Monday, July 27: Worked out from 7:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. (infectious and symptomatic)
Tuesday, August 4: Worked out from 10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. (infectious but not symptomatic) 

Anyone who was at this location on these dates is at an enhanced risk for contracting COVID-19 and should monitor for symptoms. There is no need to self-quarantine or isolate unless symptoms develop.    

This exposure is considered high-risk due to the number of people that may have been exposed and the length of time the individual was at the facility.

The health department announced on July 17 that it would be suspending low-risk community exposure notices, but public notifications would continue to be made in cases of high-risk exposures. You can read that news release here.
