LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Superior Court reported that a second employee has tested positive for COVID-19.
Court Executive Officer Krista LeVier said Tuesday that the employee in question has not been in the office since Dec. 10.
“This individual did not have close contact with any attorney, law enforcement or members of the public. We continue to follow all guidance provided by Lake County Public Health,” LeVier said.
A week and a half ago, the court reported that its first employee had tested positive for the virus.
That employee was asymptomatic while at work at both the Clearlake and Lakeport courthouses, but didn’t work in a courtroom or have close contacts with the public, attorneys or law enforcement, LeVier said.
That announcement regarding the first case came days after Superior Court Presiding Judge Michael Lunas and LeVier announced that most of the court’s proceedings were being moved back online and that trials were canceled until Dec. 30.
