Clients sent home after COVID outbreak at Danbury Rehabilitation Center



DANBURY – Five staff members and one client tested positive for COVID-19 at a local rehab center.

The health care department on Wednesday confirmed the cases at the Danbury branch of the Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism.

The center has fired all clients and will return people to self-quarantine, and protocols for returning to work have been completed, said health care spokesman Av Harris.


Known as MCCA, the center offers a short-term drug abuse treatment program, an eight-day detention patent, an outpatient program, and a 21-day one-day rehab program.

Danbury stands for a spike in new cases of coronavirus, with an infection rate of about 7 percent.
