Clark County Public Health is reporting five confirmed cases of COVID-19 among employees of Pacific Crest Building Supply in Ridgefield and is responding to the incident as an outbreak.
Public Health announced the confirmed cases today, June 4, stating the first case of an employee at the business was confirmed that morning. As of the department’s announcement production at the facility had stopped and Public Health was working with the business to plan on how to test all employees.
Those who tested positive were told to isolate at home, and close contacts identified by Public Health would also be asked to quarantine for 14 days, the department stated. Public Health was expected to have an update on Friday.
