So if these employees tested positive where in the community have they been? They obviously have been out and about in the community up until now so what is being done to protect the community? Are we looking at a future surge of cases in the next two weeks when brenham is supposed to be opening hair shops nail shops etc???? That’s scary and something to consider before we open up more businesses.
Another concern, if 22 employees are positive, are they at home quarantined? And who is coming in to cover their positions, and where have they all traveled or been throughout this virus mess? It’s has to be some concern to bring more people in to cover the employees that tested positive. We have almost more cases and deaths as many of the larger counties in the Houston area that are more populated than we are. We have already surpassed Montgomery county in deaths as well as Brazos county. The bringing in of employees to cover employees that tested positive should be of great concern.
Now we are getting to the young people. Getting the VIRUS. They will get younger Brenham if you don’t be safe wear your mask when out stay far apart
