Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff said he’s self-quarantining after recent contact with a county employee who tested positive for COVID-19.

The judge said he’s not shown symptoms and will work remotely while in quarantine. 

“Although I have been working remotely for the most part and was not in direct or prolonged contact with this staff member, it is still considered a mild exposure,” the judge said in emailed statement. 

Wolff also said he’s taken a COVID-19 test and is waiting on the results. Members of his office who were also potentially exposed also will be tested.
