According to a release from the hospital, the employee developed symptoms associated with COVID-19 after leaving work on Thursday and now reports testing positive for the virus.
The employee is in isolation at their home.
The release says all patients and staff who are at risk for exposure have been contacted, following guidance of local public officials, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, as well as the Centers for Disease Control.
