A contractor working at a Conway manufacturing facility has been diagnosed with the coronavirus. The Kimberly-Clark facility in Conway will undergo cleaning and disinfecting after it was confirmed a contractor who was on site was diagnosed with the virus.
“I am able to confirm that a contractor at our Conway, Arkansas facility has received a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. We have taken immediate steps to clean and disinfect the contractor’s primary work area, and we are keeping our employees and other team members up to date on our actions as well as providing guidance on how they can protect themselves,” Kimberly-Clark spokesman Terry Balluck told the Log Cabin Democrat in an email late Tuesday.
Balluck said the person was not a Kimberly-Clark employee and was checking to see if he could release the name of the company that employs the contractor.
In the meantime, Balluck said the company has enhanced its safety measures.

Update
Balluck's initial statement to the Log Cabin Democrat said the contractor had received a confirmed diagnosis. Balluck said there was a misunderstanding because the company that employs the contractor had initially communicated that the diagnosis was confirmed. After the Log Cabin Democrat reported the story, the Arkansas Department of Health contacted Kimberly-Clark to say the test results were still pending.
