From staff reports

Two police officers for the City of Titusville have tested positive for COVID-19, city manager Neil Fratus said.

A statement issued Saturday by Fratus said one officer who hasn’t been working since Sept. 29 was tested Oct. 6, and a positive result for that officer was given Oct. 8.

The officer was quarantined and will be able to return to duty this week, Fratus said.

The second officer tested positive Saturday and had close contact with the first officer who tested positive, according to Fratus.

The police and fire department building was immediately sanitized along with vehicles and equipment, Fratus said.

The city has been in contact with two licensed physicians who are providing guidance as the city will continue to follow all Centers for Disease Control guidelines, Fratus said.
