County Investigating Coronavirus Cases At Harbor Light Complex

CLEVELAND, OH — The Cuyahoga County Board of Health is investigating a series of coronavirus cases at the Salvation Army's Harbor Light Complex, according to several reports.

As cleveland.com reports, five staff members and six residents at the complex have tested positive for the coronavirus. When the Salvation Army first discovered the rash of infections, they say they put out a call for help. Now the board of health is stepping in to check to see if anyone else has been infected.

In the meantime, the Salvation Army says the six infected residents at the facility are being quarantined in a part of the building away from others.

The Salvation Army's Harbor Light Complex offers a variety of services, including drug addiction programs, community correction programs and shelters for homeless men and women. Between the community corrections programs and the shelters, around 450 people are staying at the center currently, and as many as 1,500 people visit the complex for alcohol and addiction services each year.

As Fox 8 reports, the Harbor Light Complex and the board of health both say they're doing everything they can to keep the situation under control while still assisting all their clients to the best of their ability.
