Brownwood County Fourth Covid-19 Case
Brownwood County Fourth Covid-19 Case
Asking those who visited the store during a three-day period to self-quarantine is going to encompass a large number of local citizens.Quote:
The fourth confirmed person is a woman in her 40s who is currently in quarantine. The individual had no reported international travel or known exposure. She did not travel outside the county before becoming symptomatic. The woman was working at Brookshire's at 1400 Austin Ave. but has not been to work since March 30.
Brownwood/Brown County Health Department is recommending that anyone who visited Brookshire's on March 28, 29, and 30 to self-isolate and monitor their symptoms for 14 days. If they have symptoms (fever, dry cough, shortness of breath) they should call their primary care physician and notify them that they may have been exposed to COVID-19.
Brookshire's is voluntary closing immediately and is bringing in a third-party professional cleaning company to thoroughly clean and sanitize the store. According to Brookshire's, the store will reopen when they are confident that any potential exposure has been eliminated.
