Enlight Treatment Center is committed to keeping up with the latest information regarding Covid-19 to ensure the safety of our clients.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Enlight Treatment Center has developed Policies and Procedures to reduce the impact of COVID-19 outbreak conditions on our patients, employees, and the public in general. Although we already planned for influenza pandemics, planning for COVID-19 involves updating plans to address the specific exposure risks, sources of exposure, routes of transmission, and other unique characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 (i.e., compared to pandemic influenza viruses). Enlight Treatment Center has prepared our workers as far in advance as possible of potentially worsening outbreak conditions. Lack of planning can result in a cascade of failures as we attempt to address challenges of COVID-19 with resources and workers who will be adequately trained for jobs they have to perform under pandemic conditions.
Symptoms of COVID-19 Infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can cause illness ranging from mild to severe and, in some cases, can be fatal. Symptoms typically include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Some people infected with the virus have reported experiencing other non-respiratory symptoms. Other people, referred to as asymptomatic cases, have experienced no symptoms at all. According to the CDC, symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure. Although the first human cases of COVID-19 likely resulted from exposure to infected animals, infected people can spread SARS-CoV-2 to other people. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person to-person, including:
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has SARS-CoV-2 on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the primary way the virus spreads. People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (i.e., experiencing fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath). Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this type of asymptomatic transmission with this new coronavirus, but this is also not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Although the United States has implemented public health measures to limit the spread of the virus, it is likely that some person-to-person transmission will continue to occur. The CDC website provides the latest information about COVID-19 transmission:

It is a policy of Enlight Treatment Center to monitor the evolving COVID-19.

All Enlight Treatment Center Employees who are considered even at slight risk of contracting the virus due to age, chronical medical conditions, including immunocompromising conditions, or come in contact with an infected individual will be excused from their duties and provided with leave of absence immediately with specific instructions to seek necessary medical assistance .
If the need arises for social distancing, staggered work shifts, downsizing operations, delivering services remotely, other exposure-reducing measures will be implemented by the Enlight Treatment Center.
