Kings Island employee tests positive for coronavirus - Hamilton Journal News

A Kings Island employee has tested positive for COVID-19, park officials told this news outlet today.

“The affected associate was screened, as per usual, prior to park opening,” said Kings Island spokesman Chad Showalter.

Showalter said park policy is that any associate confirmed to have tested positive for COVID-19 is sent home for 14 days or until they test negative.

The workstation and general workplace where the affected associates work will be sanitized and will not reopen to other associates or guests “until proper cleaning of the facility has been completed,” Showalter said.

Those wanting to take a break from those measures can stop by Kings Island’s new, fenced-in “RelaxZone” areas where guests can sit and remove their masks.
