KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two workers on a construction job for Children's Mercy Hospital tested positive for COVID-19.
The two were subcontractors for McCownGordon, a well-known Kansas City construction company.
The two men worked on the Children's Mercy Research Tower project.
One man tested positive, but his case was confirmed more than 14 days after the last time he was on the job, according to a statement from the construction company.
McCownGordon learned the second worker tested positive Wednesday, but his last day on the site was March 26.
That worker is quarantined from the site.
The workers did not have access to the hospital.
McCownGordon is the general contractor on the nine-story building that will conduct leading-edge research into pediatric medicine.
