MSDH: Infant care suspended at Lafayette County child care facility due to infant death

The MSDH has ordered a child care facility in Lafayette County to suspend its infant care following the death of an infant.

We will get to the very latest on the coronavirus crisis in a moment,, but first ... we're following a developing story in oxford that's likely to be unsettling for some parents.

The state ordered a daycare to temporarily stop caring for babies because one of them died.

Let's go live to w-t-v-a's alexis jones at that daycare -- mother goose of oxford.

She's got some history about it as well as what workers there are saying about the move by the state.

Oxford police are looking into that death and are expected to turn over a report to the state health department concerning this daycare on monday.

The agency announced this afternoon an emergency suspension of infant care by mother goose.

This following the death of an eight-week old.

However, the daycare isn't closed.

I saw children playing outside of that daycare just an hour ago.

Now the state provided some background about that daycare.

Mother goose got its license in 19-99 more than 20 years ago.

It's had no monetary penalties while in operation all that time.

And the daycare passed its last inspection just last month.

I also spoke with employees at mother goose.

They said they are cooperating with police and will remain open.
