JUST IN: Confirmed with Cincinnati Metro that 5 cases of COVID-19 were discovered among its Downtown administrative office staff. The office will close for 2 weeks out of "an abundance of caution," acc. to a spokeswoman. The admin office closure will NOT impact bus service. @WCPO
I'm told one office employee reported experiencing symptoms, prompting an initial test. Subsequent contact tracing revealed four additional cases among the admin staff. Spokeswoman Brandy Jones said administrative employees will continue working from home in the interim.
A point of clarification: Subsequent contact tracing and other office employees deciding independently to get tested revealed four additional cases. Jones could not confirm any direct connection between any of the cases.
