COVID Outbreak at Denver Station (Patreon)

According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, a business that experiences 3 or more employees testing positive for the coronavirus, it is considered an outbreak. 

FTVLive FIRST told you that Nexstar's KDVR/KWGN has had three staffers on their morning newscast that have tested positive for the Rona. 

And while station General Manager Byron Grandy seems to be trying to address the situation, News Director Brian Gregory is busy running errands. 

Looking at the outbreak list on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's website, we don't see the outbreak at KDVR/KWGN on the list as out yet. 

We would hope that the station follows the guidelines and report themselves as having an outbreak. Certainly, they wouldn't be trying to cover it up. Right? 

Needless to say employees are pissed. "Management here covered up the outbreak and failed to tell employees until late Sunday night," said one employee to FTVLive. 

Others say that feel that Brian Gregory is not putting the health of the staff as a priority.

The bottom line, if one person at your station tests positive, or thinks they may be positive, management needs to alert the staff ASAP.  We are talking about people's lives and also trying to stop the spread. 

Let's hope that this Denver station can be a bit better the next time. Also, let's hope they report the station's outbreak to the health department. 

Stay tuned.....
