American Implement employee tests positive for COVID-19

On March 27 American Implement had an employee test positive for COVID-19 at the Hugoton, Kansas, location. This employee hadn’t been in the dealership for a week and should not have had any direct contact with customers to the company’s knowledge. Three weeks prior, the employee had traveled out of state to an area not covered by any past or present Kansas Department of Health and Environment travel bans. It is believed the virus was contracted during that trip. American Implement made the decision to close the Hugoton location at noon March 27 as a precaution for the safety of employees, customers and the community.

American Implement is currently working with the Stevens County Health Department to follow KDHE protocols to safely reopen this location. In the interim, the other 15 locations are being mobilized to service customers in the Hugoton area.
