The Boone County Sheriff’s Office continues to conduct bi-weekly COVID-19 tests. As of Friday, we have two newly confirmed positive cases for COVID-19. One is from our Enforcement Division and the other is from our Corrections Division .To date, we have completed a total of 17 bi-weekly tests. This equals out to being 2,075 individual tests; 14 of which returned positive. That’s just over 0.5% positivity rate.Upon receiving the results, the BCSO employees were immediately quarantined at home, and will remain isolated for a period of two weeks. The BCSO employees will then submit to two more tests before returning to work. Both tests, at least 24-hours apart, must have a negative result before the employees return to work. BCSO continues to follow suggested guidelines, provided to us by local, state, and federal health authorities.
