COVID-19 Corona Virus Response

To Date, as of December 29, Coconut Cove has never had an employee test positive for COVID-19, despite having employees in the facility 10 hours per day, 6 days per week. Many of them have received tests because they are high school or college students and were tested when exposed at school. They have all, always, come back negative, which also shows that for the past 9 months, no employee has picked up COVID-19 working at Coconut Cove and none have come to work with COVID-19.

Coconut Cove is Still Open

Did You Know Outdoor Playgrounds have 60,000 Times More Bacteria Than Indoor Playgrounds?

“Kids racing down the slide at an outdoor playground may actually encounter around 60,000 times more bacteria than they would at the top of the slide at the local fast food joint or other indoor play area. In the tunnels where kids love to crawl, the difference was dramatic as well. The outdoor playground tunnels averaged 1,500 times more bacteria than the indoor playground tunnels.”

“Why the added yuck factor at the park’s play equipment? Probably because unlike most outdoor playgrounds, many indoor playgrounds (such as those in fast food restaurants) undergo regular cleaning and disinfecting.” Read more at Playground Germs: How Dirty Are They? by Home Advisor.

Coconut Cove has always maintained a clean environment, disinfecting each day, and throughout the day with disinfectants that are effective against SARS-CoV-2.

Airborne spread has not been reported for COVID-19 and it is not believed to be a major driver of transmission based on available evidence See Report of the WHO-China Joint Missionon Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Airborne Corona droplets only remain in the air for a few seconds before they fall to the surface.
