Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff announced that he is in self-quarantine after being exposed to a county employee that tested positive for COVID-19.

Wolff stated, "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 says that he is in quarantine out of caution and will continue to work remotely while he monitors the situation further.
