Butler County (OH) elections employee tests positive for coronavirus, didn't interact with voters
A Butler County Board of Elections employee has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, but he didn't come in contact with voters, board officials said.
Brian Hester, who works in the board's candidate and ballot services division, announced his illness on Facebook on Tuesday. Hester, also the Butler County Democratic Party executive director, said he had not been at work since Thursday.
Hester had no contact with voters in his role, Butler County Board of Elections Director Diane Noonan said. He will be off for 14 days and must bring a doctor's note to return.
Noonan said a couple of employees were off Tuesday to be tested, but they had not interacted with voters either.
Each employee has his or her temperature taken daily and the facilities are cleaned thoroughly each night.
