An employee of the Christian County Clerk and Recorder’s Office located inside the Christian County Courthouse located at 101 South Main Street in Taylorville has tested positive for COVID-19. The Health Department began to contact tracing immediately to help identify any individuals who may have had close contact with that employee.
The building is being cleaned thoroughly. The Clerk and Recorder’s Office as well as the other Courthouse offices remain open. The Circuit Clerk’s Office will be closed due to a previous positive case.
Early voting is still being scheduled. Voting booths, materials, and common areas are being cleaned. If you do enter the courthouse, masks are required to enter the courthouse, and hand sanitizer is available according to County Clerk, Michael Gianasi.
If you were recently at the circuit clerk and recorder’s office, you don’t meet the exposure guidelines of less than six feet for more than fifteen minutes. Therefore your exposure to COVID-19 would be low.
Continue to social distance, wear face masks, wash your hands frequently, and clean common areas. For more information call the Chris-Mont EMA at 532-9560 or call the Christian County Health Department at 824-4113.
