A Harris County judge is back on the bench after self-isolating at home for two weeks when a member of her staff tested positive for COVID-19, the court said.
“The reality of it is, there are thousands of residents across Harris County that are increasingly finding themselves in the same position I am in today,” Linda Hidalgo said in a statement announcing the quarantine. “We will beat this threat together as a community and I will continue to ensure we are pursuing every option we have to bring this back under control.”
The judge was exposed on Monday, June 22. She had no symptoms, the court said.
“I continue to call on everyone to stay home except for essential activities," Hidalgo said. "That is the only way we avoid a crisis in our hospital system and put our community in a position to reopen in a smarter and more sustainable way.”
