Fort Worth-area clinic reopens days after employees tested positive for coronavirus

A Southlake medical clinic that closed last week after two employees tested positive for COVID-19 reopened on Monday.

The Baylor Scott & White-Southlake Family Medicine clinic opened its doors after workers sanitized the building.

Officials at Baylor Scott & White did not comment Monday if any other employees had tested positive for coronavirus or if all the doctors, nurses, patients and staff had returned.

Baylor Scott & White-Southlake Family Medicine was closed Thursday after officials received information that two employees had tested positive in the past few days.

Officials said employees did not interact with patients at the time of their symptoms.

The ages of the employees and their conditions were not released by officials.

Officials noted they are following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As of Sunday, there were 139 cases of COVID-19 in Tarrant County, five of them in Southlake, according to county health officials.
