It’s more dangerous to enter that building than it is to enter The Valley Hospital’s main campus. Stay away if you can.
Sick stay home. Please.!
It’s amazing what’s going on in New Jersey with this virus. You would think upper management should be telling all the employees throughout their company business so on please if you are sick stay home, we don’t need you getting anyone else sick. Stop being a hero .
That person had a hell of a lot of fr**n nerve! Many people have doctors appointments in that building location.
It’s a joke, you can walk in and nobody stops you if there is More than 3 people get temp checks
“Ground level entry point temp screening station?
Really?
That’s funny because I was their today and there were ZERO
people screening for anything in the lobby b4 hitting the elevators and going up.
Just because some hoser told you this BS exists don’t mean dick. Get the facts jack.
Which 3rd floor wing did person go ? East Wing or West Wing of the building. Did he/she use the elevator? stairways? And yes there is a ground entry level -only one entrance for temp. checks and 3 questions before you’re given a “pass” slip and asked who’s your appointment with, before you can proceed to the elevators. I called my Doctors office 2nd floor, there today and they have not heard of this breach, or haven’t been informed of it. There’s no news alert mention of it on Valley Med. Group website. Have the affected wing, elevators, stairs, been sanitized?
More overreacting COVID p0rn.
Did anyone die? NO
Did anyone get sick ? NO

I’ve been into that building twice in the past 6 months and both times my temperature was checked at the back door. I guess they’ve gotten a bit lax lately. Heads need to roll. I’m certain there’s a security video that shows which employee was responsible for the breach.
This was posted by a person who had no full knowledge of the situation that occurred and is creating panic that can be avoided. I work at this building and the “breach” issue was investigated by TVH administration. Person had low level of oxygen and had difficulty breathing. Temperature was below 100 degrees. In order for a check station employee in the lobby to prevent person from going to their destination temperature has to be 100 and above. Person was later tested negative for Covid-19. In addition that Person was wearing mask at all times. Ridgewood Keep Calm! Just stay 6 feet away from people when you are walking into the buildings. It’s a medical building and we have to care for those that need medical assistance.
