BRENHAM ISD SUSPENDS DRIVE-THRU MEAL SITES AFTER POTENTIAL COVID-19 EXPOSURE
Brenham ISD has suspended all drive-thru meal sites after learning an employee may have been exposed to COVID-19.
A news release from the school district late Tuesday said an individual in the child nutrition department serving at the Alton Elementary School and Brenham High School meal delivery sites is now under self-quarantine, although the district stressed the employee has not tested positive for COVID-19.
As a precaution, all child nutrition staff operating the sites have been notified and asked to self-quarantine for 14 days. The district said the meal sites will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
District officials said, because of the social distancing measures in place, the public’s exposure was limited, and those who received meals or volunteered should not be at increased risk. All staff and volunteers wear gloves when packing food into bags and when handing the bags out.
The district apologized for the immediate change, and said while there is no confirmation yet on the diagnosis of the employee, it does not want to take any chances regarding the safety and well-being of staff, families, and the community.
You as adults are responsible for feeding your own kids/family! BISD doesn’t claim them or their taxes and if you think your so entitled to free food etc. then what are you showing the next generation? Most of the individuals complaining get free food each month from the government already so be grateful of the free stuff you receive and step up and feed your own kids! It’s just temporary so if you half to go out and stock shelves at night or go help a local restaurant prepare food but quit complaining and do something for yourself!
The more people out everyday that aren’t working or getting groceries etc. will only add to our counties number of positive cases! Stay home and put two pieces of bread together with cheese in the middle! It cost $3.00 to make roughly six or seven grilled cheese sandwiches and about the same amount for hotdogs at home! It just that simple and if you don’t have that much for food then how are you able to put gas in your vehicle to get to those places to get free food because it’ll cost you that much times fives days a week!
The children of Brenham need these meals! Mothers and fathers are at home with no job, why aren’t extra measures in place for the service members preparing these meals?
Everybody is suffering. Why should
Someone else feed your child? Are you going to feed mine? Any good parent will find a way to take care of their kids and family and not expect somebody else to do it. Be grateful for what they received already. Everybody is in this situation. Should have went and prepared ahead like many of us have and quit relying on others to do it for you. People are never grateful. They get one free meal, they want another or be fed forever. Be grateful for the one that was received
Anybody at this point working in serving food deliveries etc needs to have a mask on,gloves and stay 6 feet apart from each other..THAT SHOULD BE MANDATORY. .public needs to do the same,actually NOT wearing a mask,gloves,social distancing makes you look STUPID..why ppl are not following the guidelines is seriously MINDBLOWING
All you have to do is wear a mask! But people are afraid what others think. Be smart wear a mask.
The masks that are truly effective aren’t available. Wearing a mask is better than no mask, but it’s far from “all you have to do.”
America was poorly prepared for this pandemic.
I agree my friend. WEAR A MASK!!!!
I agree,the government is saying the mask only keeps you from spreading the covid-19, and people don’t wear them because they feel like they don’t have it. But think wise, it protects you from the virus to, please wear y’all masks. You think it makes you look stupid, but you are stupid from not wearing it. The employees wore gloves handling to food, but more than half the time they never had masks on. Not even some while handling homework out. Some of the workers was suited up GOOD JOB.
This is how people are getting infected, by people not wearing masks . They say you are contagious even before you have symptoms.
My prayers go out to the person infected and everyone they came in contact with.
There is no confirmation of the person being infected. The employee “may have been” exposed to COVID-19.
