ORIGINAL STORY: After many questioned the identity of the large Tom Green County employer who had its workforce tested for COVID-19 through a private lab, the company has been identified in a press release from the City of San Angelo's Public Information Office.
The large employer is Rambler Solar Project, a project being built by Signal Energy, a solar constructor. The company does not have a local headquarters.
As of Saturday afternoon, 19 of the employees tested received positive results.
The site has been cooperating with the City of San Angelo and Tom Green County Health Department. Out of an abundance of caution, the site partnered with a third party, licensed health care provider to offer COVID-19 testing for all onsite employees and contractors. Testing is an important part of helping ensure the health of our employees and give peace of mind to the communities where these employees work, the release stated.
According to the statement, last week, the site decided to conduct a health and safety stand down in order to allow time to test all employees. All employees have been instructed to stay home until negative test results are received.
The site is working to keep public health officials and the City of San Angelo updated, while they continue to follow their health and safety policy - based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standards.
