The decision was made "out of an abundance of caution," said Ian Ridgeway, deputy elections director.
Health officials were notified about the situation and asked who else would need to be tested, said David Fisher, elections board chairman.
Plans were made for disinfecting the elections office this weekend, Fisher said.
The Secretary of State's Office and the county commissioners were notified.
Procedures followed during the COVID shutdown this spring again will be followed, Ridgeway said. The elections office in the county Courthouse will be open by appointment only. A table with a drop box will be placed in the Courthouse lobby. The table will have voter registration forms, absentee ballot applications and poll worker application packets.
