WAYNESBORO, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -- Plant Vogtle confirms 90 active positive cases of COVID-19 from the Vogtle 3&4 workforce.
According to Plant Vogtle officials, 81 individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 have recovered and are available to return to work.
The overall test results now stand at 171 positive test results, while 439 have tested negative. 48 workers from the site are awaiting test results.
Statement from Plant Vogtle:
"With each person tested, we act quickly, self-isolating the individuals, along with the personnel who have been in close proximity to them, immediately after learning they have been tested for COVID-19.
Site leadership remains focused on protecting the safety and health of workers at the Vogtle 3 & 4 site, and comprehensive measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will remain in place. These proactive measures include worker distancing strategies, including adjusted break schedules, additional mobile facilities to add more distance between individuals onsite and suspending large group meetings and gatherings, along with an expanded onsite medical clinic."
