"Now I'm someone directly affected by COVID and I never thought that it would be so close to home," said Erik Chase.

The following Saturday, Springfield-Greene County Health Department let him know he'd come in contact with someone who tested positive for the coronavirus.

It definitely gives me great concern," Chase said.

"I also think that the employer had a great responsibility that if one of their employees wasn't feeling well, especially with this pandemic, to send their employee home.".

Now, another stylist at that salon has tested positive for COVID-19.

Chase said from the time he went to the Great Clips to the day he was actually notified, he came in contact with 15 to 20 people.

The owner of the Great Clips on Glenstone said the store is closed for deep cleaning and will reopen when the health department says it's safe to do so.
