AUGUSTA The city is shutting down its entire child care program just days after it was partially closed after an additional worker there tested positive for COVID-19.
This week the city had already shut down part of the program, and sent 11 children and three staff members home who were in one cohort with a child who tested positive for COVID-19.

On Wednesday morning, a staff member whose work was not limited to just that one classroom group tested positive, forcing about a half-dozen workers who were in contact with them to go into quarantine. That also prompted city officials to decide to close the entire program until Dec. 28.
