The South Knoxville branch of the Knox County Clerk’s Office is closed for the week after an employee tested positive for COVID-19, Knoxnews reports. The closure, confirmed by Clerk Sherry Witt, began Monday after an employee’s test came back positive after close of business Friday. The other two members of the office were asked to get tested and are quarantining, waiting on their test results to come in, Witt said. Following the Knox County Health Board's decision, Witt said she has asked her employees to wear masks while working unless an underlying health condition prevents them from doing so.
