COVID -19 Hits Employees
Sunday, March 29, 2020, two San Bernardino County Sheriff Deputies assigned to Corrections tested
positive for the COVID-19 virus. As of late afternoon, the Deputies
are resting at home and are experiencing flu-like symptoms.
The Sheriff Deputies entered self-quarantine due
to an onset of flu-like symptoms prior to receiving test results and
have been off of work for a week. We are currently investigating how
they were infected. Although we do not know when and where the
deputies were exposed to the virus, we continue to encourage all
members to heed the warnings of health officials while on and off duty.
Out of respect for our deputies, no
additional details regarding their identity or medical treatment will be
released.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff encourages all residents to follow local and
state guidelines of hygiene and social distancing http://wp.sbcounty.gov/dph/coronavirus/
