CLEVELAND — Six employees from University Hospitals are under self-quarantine after coming in close contact with the three patients in Cuyahoga County who are confirmed to have coronavirus (COVID-19).

According to a news release from UH, the employees are being monitored by the Ohio Department of Health as well as the Cuyahoga County Board of health. Their tests are currently pending.

None of the employees have been hospitalized.

The hospital said that three patients went to their primary care physician at UH and were screened via COVID-19 protocol. From there, the patients were then sent to the emergency room where they were examined by hospital staff wearing eye protection, gowns, gloves and N95 masks in a negative pressure room.

The hospital said it was unable to provide additional information due to patient confidentiality.
