The Washington County District Attorney’s office has been closed and some 30 staff members are now working remotely. District Attorney Gene Vittone says they were informed Tuesday that a staff member tested positive for COVID-19. Vittone tells WJPA that the individual is asymptomatic but did come in contact with numerous other workers in the office. The office is now being cleaned and sanitized. All of those workers are getting tested. Vittone says all protocols are being followed and he praised the county’s response to the situation. He says his staff will continue to work remotely until it is deemed safe to return.
