An administrative staff member with the Overland Park Fire Department has tested positive for COVID-19, the department confirmed Thursday.
“The person’s symptoms appeared while not at work and it is believed their exposure was non work related,” read a release from the department.
OPFD is also tracking the condition of two additional employees who are on home quarantine and being monitored for possible infection as a result of contact with the person who tested positive. Like the staff member confirmed to have COVID-19, neither of those individuals is a first responder who would have had contact with the general public on department duty.
