Geary Community Hospital has tested all employees that have had a direct contact with the two staff members that had tested positive for COVID-19. All staff have been tested twice and all have been negative to date.
“We are thankful that we did not have any spread throughout our staff. We will continue to monitor staff daily, to ensure that all employees, patients and community continue to stay safe” said GCH Interim CEO, Frank Corcoran.
A screening hotline for GCH patients staffed by qualified GCH nurses is available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The professional staff will provide guidance for anyone who has symptoms, has traveled outside the US or inside the US to an area with widespread transmission, or may have been in contact with someone confirmed or being tested for COVID-19. The screening hotline number is 785-210-4214.
