INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) – An employee of the Indiana State Police has tested positive for COVID-19.
The employee, who is assigned to the State Police’s Laboratory Division in Indianapolis, was admitted to a local hospital for a medical issue.
Sunday, the employee received notice they tested positive for COVID-19 and remains hospitalized at this time.
A co-worker who was last known to have been working in close proximity has since self-quarantined at home out of an abundance of caution.
State police officials have been making notifications with additional co-workers throughout the day.
ISP is working closely with the Indiana State Department of Health, according to a release.
"We are continuing to monitor the situation and following accepted virus mitigation practices for the health and safety of its employees, their families and the greater community," ISP said in a statement.
