CROWN POINT â The Mountain Lake Services organization is working to contain a COVID-19 outbreak at group homes it operates in Crown Point.
The agency said Thursday that two program participants and two staff members tested positive for the coronavirus at the group residences.
Mountain Lake Services Executive Director Jack Mudge said the organization, which supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Essex County, âhas been working diligently to thwart the spread of COVID-19 among the population it serves.â
Despite their precautions, on Dec. 15, residents and workers began displaying symptoms of the coronavirus at homes operated by the agency in which people with disabilities live and are cared for by direct-service professionals working for Mountain Lake Services.
