300 visitors of Washington chiropractic office asked to quarantine over potential coronavirus exposure


Clark County public health officials are urging nearly 300 people who visited a chiropractic office in Washington last week to quarantine immediately because they may have been exposed to COVID-19 by an infected worker.

The county took the unusual step of publicly announcing the case Wednesday in an effort to quickly reach visitors through media coverage. Officials expect it will take contact tracers several days to speak to everyone who visited the facility.

Mask use at the office had been “inconsistent” and public health officials are considering everyone who visited at risk of exposure “out of an abundance of caution,” spokeswoman Marissa Armstrong said.

“We wanted to make sure that those folks who were exposed and at risk of getting sick are quarantining right away,” Armstrong said.

1. Mask use was inconsistent.

Which means a bunch of employees couldn't be bothered to wear them. Whoever is the office manager who did not enforce mask wearing needs to be punished in some way.
