ELLIJAY, Ga. – Reported earlier, an exposure inside the Board of Commissioners Office prompted the cancellation of their work session for December.
However, the December meeting also confirmed that employees of the BOC are being sent into quarantine because of the possible exposure. The meeting saw only Post 1 Commissioner Hubert Parker, Post 2 Commissioner Karleen Ferguson, and County Attorney David Clark in-person for the meeting. The board had County Clerk Edwina Daman, Financial Officer Sandi Holden, and Board Chairman Charlie Paris all attending by phone.
According to a statement given in the meetings by Ferguson, who led the meetings in Paris’ semi-absence, Paris has not tested positive for the virus himself, but is instead quarantining due to possible exposure as he came into contact with the person. The office of the BOC has not named which employee tested positive.
