On Sunday, Rhode Island brick factory owner George “Brick” Girod said he’s conducting a health assessment and has a team of health workers looking at the building.

He said he’ll release a final report next week.

Girobde’s company, the Rhode Island Brick Factory Assateague, began operations in 2014, producing bricks for a variety of residential, commercial and industrial uses.

Its business was once so successful that it built a state-of-the-art brick factory on its site, but that building was shuttered this year.

“There’s been a lot of noise in the community about it,” Giroad said of the new testing.

“I just don’t think that’s going to affect the community at all.”

Girode said he is looking at two areas for possible Ebola testing.

One would look at whether anyone who came into contact with a person who has contracted Ebola is exposed to the virus.

That includes workers, people working on a building site or any other workers who come into contact.

“A lot of people that I’ve talked to have said they’re just fine,” Groad said.

“But it’s important to me to know how we are.”

Grogd said the other area would look into whether people have recently used the facility.

He doesn’t know how many people have come into direct contact with someone who has Ebola, but he said he thinks it could be a higher number.

“If they’re here, they should have been tested,” Grogad said, adding that the company has been told by officials to stay at least 150 yards away from anyone who has been in contact with anyone who is symptomatic.

He added that the testing will take place at the facility, not at a different location.
