Pitt County Health Department Provider Tests Postive For COVID-19

A healthcare provider in Pitt County has tested positive for COVID-19.  The Pitt County Health Department said in a news release Thursday that the individual did not exhibit any symptoms but sought testing last Friday to ensure they were not at risk of exposing others to coronavirus. The provider is at home in isolation and remains asymptomatic. Health officials said the person won’t return to work until they test negative and no longer pose a risk to patients and staff members.  The Health Department has suspended all in-person clinical services until employees are cleared to return to work.
