The California Department of Justice is confirming one of their employees who works at the Broadway Avenue office in Sacramento has been in contact with a family member who was diagnosed with novel coronavirus after a trip to China.

This also comes after Friday's announcement of the first confirmed travel related case of coronavirus in Sacramento County, but it's unclear at this point if the cases are connected.

A DOJ spokeswoman says the unidentified employee had minimal exposure to that infected family member. Department officials also said that the employee has not been "exhibiting symptoms" of the virus, and that the California Public Health Department is working closely with the family on their 14-day self-quarantine. The DOJ also also believes there has been absolutely no risk to the their Sacramento workplace.

However, it was also learned on Friday that the DOJ employee in question may have been in contact with other employees prior to going into quarantine. The department spokesperson would not comment on that allegation.
