An employee within the Saunders County Department of Corrections tested positive for COVID-19, the Three Rivers Public Health Department said Tuesday.

Three Rivers says the employee is a Douglas County resident who is self-isolating at their home.

Contact investigations are underway to identify people who came into close contact to help prevent further spread.

All identified close contacts will self-quarantine and be actively monitored twice daily by public health officials for fever and respiratory symptoms.
