BRATTLEBORO â An inn on Putney Road being used to house those without shelter during the COVID-19 pandemic was closed so residents could quarantine after two tested positive for the virus.
A quarantine at the Quality Inn & Conference Center was scheduled from Friday through around April 30. Josh Davis, executive director of Groundworks Collaborative, said the state urged the action out of an abundance of caution.
On April 7, a client of Groundworks tested positive for COVID-19 and was sent with their family to the Ho-Hum Motel in Burlington, which is being used by the state as an isolation shelter as part of the emergency housing program in the pandemic. On April 15, a second client tested positive for the virus.
