HAMLIN, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia courthouse is closing for at least two weeks after employees from two offices were possibly exposed to the coronavirus, officials said.

The Lincoln County courthouse will be closed for at least 14 days to make sure none of the exposed employees develop symptoms of COVID-19, the county commission said in a news release.

The West Virginia National Guard will decontaminate the building in the meantime, WCHS-TV reported.

Exposed employees will be tested five days after the last known exposure to any potentially ill employees and again at seven days, the release said.
