Monthly reports released for COVID-19 cases at emergency child care facilities
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) Starting this month, the Early Learning Division will be publishing a monthly report detailing the Emergency Child Care facilities reporting a confirmed or presumptive positive COVID-19 case to the Office of Child Care. The report can be found on ELD’s COVID-19 website.
When ELD released its “Health and Safety Guidelines for Child Care and Early Education Operating During COVID-19,” it became a requirement that ECC facilities report confirmed and presumptive positive cases to OCC starting Sept.1, 2020. The OCC staff capture this information based on what is self-reported by child care facilities. Prior to September, it was only a recommendation that cases be reported to OCC.
