After several employees who work at the County Administrative Center (CAC) were confirmed to have coronavirus, all board offices at the CAC and the executive office were temporarily closed. The office closures impact portions of the fourth and fifth floors of the CAC. The rest of the building will remain open.
Approximately 200 employees in the affected offices are in the process of being tested, stated the county’s news release. In accordance with disease containment recommendations from RUHS – Public Health, the office spaces were cleaned and disinfected to curb continued transmission.
“This is an important reminder that coronavirus is present throughout all of Southern California and any one of us may contract the virus,” said County Executive Officer George Johnson. “We’ve acted quickly to temporarily close and set up testing to protect employees and residents who visit our offices.”
The next Board of Supervisors meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 30, will be held virtually. The meeting can be viewed at livestream.com/rivcolive or www.facebook.com/RivCoCOB.

Employees will telecommute until cleared to return to work. Board offices can still be reached by emailing the district office.
