(KMJ) – Fresno County announces the temporary closure of the Board of Supervisors, Clerk of the Board, and Administrative Offices and has directed those staffers to quarantine. This action follows a positive COVID-19 test by County Supervisor Steve Brandau.
The County adds the services provided by these offices are still available by remote means as staff continue to perform their duties remotely.
”Upon learning of the positive test, we took quick and appropriate action per our safety protocols to close our offices and send staff home to protect against any potential spread of the virus,” said Fresno County Administrative Officer, Jean Rousseau. “We believe the risk to be minimal thanks to health and temperature screenings and mask requirements that are in place, however our top priority is always to protect the health and safety of our staff and those whom we serve and these actions are the right thing to do.”
Per COVID-19 safety protocols, staff of the affected offices have been directed to self-quarantine until further notice.
