In a statement, the hospital said that the employee is in quarantine at home, and once the hospital learned about the diagnosis from the Butler County Health District they initiated an investigation to find which staff, patients and family members may be at risk.
Staff that did come into close contact with the employee are now quarantined at home. Patients and families were notified and provided with guidance and support, the statement said.
Now, the hospital said, the Butler County General Health District is now in charge of the situation, and Cincinnati Children’s is working closely with them to ensure the safety of their patients, visitors and staff.
