Aberdeen Heights employee tests positive for COVID-19

KIRKWOOD, Mo. – An Aberdeen Heights employee tested positive for COVID-19 this week.

The employee last worked on Friday, April 22nd.  We’re following PMMA® Emergent Infectious Disease (EID) Policy and Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and CDC guidelines in determining when the employee may return to work and any restrictions upon their return.

This brings the total of positive cases on our campus in April to five.

PMMA strongly encourages our families, employees and residents to carefully consider getting a COVID-19 vaccination for themselves, as well as their loved ones. Every person who receives the vaccine will strengthen the protection for all residents, staff and the community at-large.

All employees are encouraged to follow CDC guidelines and best practices as these are continually updated. The community regularly reinforces with all staff that an employee should not report to work if he or she is experiencing symptoms of a respiratory illness or not feeling well.
