Shaw Pool In City Of Clayton Will Remain Closed On July 13 & 14

Press release from the City of Clayton:

July 12, 2020

On Sunday, we were notified that an employee at Shaw Park Aquatic Center was diagnosed with COVID-19. The St. Louis County Department of Health has deemed any possible contact as insignificant due to our adherence to the safe operating protocols outlined by the County and CDC. Contact tracing is not required for insignificant contact situations like this, but those who visited the Aquatic Center during the employees last week of shifts will be notified via email.

We have closed the facility for forty-eight hours for deep cleaning and sanitation. The Aquatic Center will resume operations on Wednesday, July 15.

This instance reminds us all of the importance of maintaining proper social distance, proper mask use, no contact check-in and regular sanitation of hands and surfaces. You can learn more about how to effectively practice any of these prevention strategies by visiting the CDC’s page of How to Protect Yourself & Others. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html
