RIDOH said on July 13, it conducted a “Health Environment Inspection” at the medical practice located at 400 Pawtucket Avenue — and found “respondent never closed during the present pandemic.”
RIDOH noted two of the three employees present during the inspection were not wearing face coverings — and that “physical distancing was observed to be impossible” by the inspector.
In addition, RIDOH’s inspector noted the office failed to have a coronavirus plan in place as required by the state, and that it was apparent “the establishment was not cleaned once per day” as required, and had magazines available — “effectively preventing cleaning in accordance with safe regulations.”
RIDOH ordered that respondent was to be “immediately closed” until violations were remedied. Read more here.
