Stormont Vail closes childcare center following outbreak

Stormont Vail Health has closed Building Blocks Child Care, a nonprofit organization, after numerous team members tested positive for COVID-19.

Of 44 employees that were tested, 18 were positive.

Staff members were wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and followed safety protocol. The majority of the staff were asymptomatic and not showing symptoms.

The building is being cleaned and sanitized and each team member testing negative will be tested again prior to re-opening. Building Blocks will remain closed through at least Nov. 23.

It will re-open when the appropriate number of team members are available to meet mandatory ratios, and families will not be charged while it remains closed.
