CLEARLAKE, Calif. — A COVID-19 outbreak at Hope Center led to a temporary hold on admissions earlier this month.
Hope Center is a 20-bed transitional housing facility owned and housing navigation hub
located at 3400 Emerson St. in Clearlake.
It’s operated by Adventist Health Clear Lake and staffed by Adventist Health associates around the clock, seven days a week.
On Wednesday, July 5, six participants and one associate at Hope Center tested positive for COVID-19, said Luke McMurray, director of marketing and communications for Adventist Health.
“Each experienced mild flu-like symptoms. An RN [registered nurse] on staff assessed everyone. No one required further treatment,” McMurray said.
“To ensure safety, protocols developed by the Lake County Department of Health and Adventist Health Clear Lake Hospital Infection Control were strictly followed. Hope Center remained open, and new participants were not admitted,” he said.
As of Saturday, July 15, there were no new cases, all participants and associates are testing negative and Hope Center is accepting new participants, McMurray said.
McMurray said Adventist Health Clear Lake and Hope Center continue to keep safety their top priority.
