The City of Dayton has established a Quarantine/Isolation Facility as an option for Public Safety members who have been placed in quarantine by PHDMC. The Greater Dayton Recreation Center at 2021 W. Third St has been designated as a Quarantine/Isolation Facility for First Responders in the Region.
The facility is currently set up with 14 beds (10 in the male dorm and 4 in the female dorm). Each cot has a blanket and personal care items (toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, washcloth, soap, comb). The facility has a limited kitchen area with refrigeration and microwaves (no stove). We have 72 MRE’s (including vegetarian) and a pallet of water. There are showers and lockers (we do not have any locks at this time). We are working to set up Wi-Fi. Capacity for additional personnel may be added to this facility if needed and a second facility has been identified.
The City of Dayton has established an electronic registration system to intake and track guests during their quarantine period. The shelter is fully set up and is operational at this time but currently is not staffed. It may be placed in service over the weekend if needed. To request the shelter to be opened at any time 24/7, please contact the Dayton Fire Department Health and Safety line at 937 333-4530, DFD Captain Merritt Colton at 937 416-5082, or DPD Sgt. Steven Clark at 937 673-9168.
