Two employees have tested positive for COVID-19 at the Chattooga County Courthouse Annex in Summerville, Georgia.
Commissioner Jason Winters said in a statement that the annex, home of the tax assessor and vehicle tag office, will be closed until further notice.
One of the employees who tested positive was Chattooga County Magistrate Judge Tracy Maddux. He said in a statement that he felt it was important to let the public know of his positive test result.
“I know some who have posted their results have been criticized, but still I post this because I feel it is the proper thing to do as I am around a lot of people each day,” Maddux said.
He added he was asymptomatic as of Friday afternoon and the only person he was in contact with who also tested positive was 10 days ago.
