An employee has contracted COVID-19
La Purisima Concepcion Church has been working diligently to safeguard the well-being of our faith community at a time when COVID-19 is threatening public health. We have been notified that an office employee has tested positive for COVID-19. This employee was last at the office on June 17, 2020.
We currently have no confirmation of a risk of infection at our location, but we are taking precautionary measures as part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the wellbeing of our entire staff and community. We are continuing to clean our facilities on a regular basis. Accordingly, anyone who was present at the parish office from June 15-17 should monitor his or her health and consult with his or her doctor if there are concerns.
The health and safety of everyone who is a part of our community is of great importance to us. We understand that this matter was reported in accordance with law to the Santa Barbara County Department of Public Health. We have been in communication with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, who has maintained regular communications with the Public Health Department to ensure that we are taking all the appropriate steps to address this situation.
The following are some helpful resources from the Santa Barbara County Department of Health regarding COVID-19:

What if I'm exposed?
https://publichealthsbc.org
We know that all of you have been wearing masks and have been practicing social distancing. The Santa Barbara County Guidelines state that you could be exposed if you were within six feet of an infected person. Most health departments state that it takes approximately 15 minutes of exposure to an infected person for you to have been exposed. If you feel any of the symptoms associated with COVID-19, or if you are concerned about whether you have been exposed, please contact your doctor for further instructions or call 211 to gain access to the health department. Please let us know if any of you become sick.
Please keep our employee in your prayers for a speedy recovery. -
