An early voting location in Palm Bay, Florida, has been forced to close after multiple election workers tested positive for the coronavirus, according to USA Today.
Brevard County Supervisor of Elections Lori Scott said on Friday that voters "did not have direct exposure with the affected individuals" due to "the multitude of safety measures, and the half-inch ballistic glass between affected workers and the voting public."
Despite the "stringent safety protocols" that were put in place following the presidential primary in March, Scott said that her office would close the location out of "an abundance of caution," following talks with officials from the Florida Department of Health.
"It is a tribute to our strict safety measures that we have been able to process almost a half a million voters through the election process this year before having our first positive case," she said.
