Hidalgo County will spend Friday cleaning and sanitizing the Edinburg Tax Office after an employee tested positive for the coronavirus.

Tax Assessor-Collector Pablo "Paul" Villarreal Jr. announced on Thursday that an employee at the Edinburg Tax Office tested positive for COVID-19.

"The employee is in isolation, receiving the necessary care, and will not return to work until the employee has met the guidelines established by the CDC," according to a news release from Hidalgo County, which referenced COVID-19 guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While the Edinburg Tax Office is closed, substations in Mission, McAllen, Pharr, San Juan, Alamo, Weslaco and Elsa remain open.
