Possible Coronavirus Exposure Shutters Peninsula Senior Center

SAN BRUNO, CA — City officials on Thursday announced the closure of the San Bruno Senior Center after they became aware of possible coronavirus exposure.

Three people who have been to the center in recent weeks were passengers on the Grand Princess Cruise Ship that is currently docked off the coast of San Francisco due to confirmed COVID-19 cases and one confirmed coronavirus death. The three individuals assisted with a lunch program.

They were aboard the cruise ship from February 11-21.

One of these people reported low-level cold symptoms yesterday, which have since subsided. The other two people have not reported any symptoms at this time. All three people have been contacted by health officials and advised to self-quarantine.

City officials said they plan to reopen the senior center on Tuesday, March 10.
The decision to close the senior center was made in collaboration with the San Mateo County Health Department and out of an abundance of caution, officials said.

San Mateo County has established a COVID-19 Public Call Center to assist the public with non-medical questions related to this ongoing concern. The hotline is open from 7am to 7pm and the number is (650) 363-4422.

The Call Center can accommodate non-English speaking callers as well.
