North Dakota legislative staff to return to office, meetings resume
North Dakota legislative employees plan to return to their Capitol office on Monday after working remotely following a co-worker’s COVID-19 diagnosis last week.
Legislative Council staff have been working remotely since Aug. 17, the day after the employee tested positive for the coronavirus disease. The nonpartisan agency handles fiscal and legal research and information technology and administrative support for the Legislature.
Agency Director John Bjornson, the Legislature’s top attorney, said Friday no other staff have tested positive, and if all goes well with monitoring over the weekend, staff “plan to return to normal operations Monday.”
