As California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered restrictions aimed at curbing a surge of Covid-19 cases, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones declined to enforce them.

Jones resisted enforcing the statewide mask order issued in June. And he pushed back on the governor-ordered curfew aimed at curbing nonessential gatherings last month.

On Wednesday, Jones' office announced that he had tested positive for the virus.

"Yesterday, December 1st, Sheriff Scott Jones received positive test results for Covid-19," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "He was tested when he developed symptoms late last week after a workplace exposure to an employee that later tested positive."

His symptoms, which included a fever, congestion and light-headedness, began last Friday, the statement said. His family also is in quarantine.
The sheriff is one of dozens of employees in the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office who have contracted the virus, despite rigorous safety practices and following safety protocols, the department said. It is unclear how and by whom these people were infecte

6. It appears to be a department full of liars ...

The sheriff is one of dozens of employees in the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office who have contracted the virus, despite rigorous safety practices and following safety protocols, the department said.

Seems odd that they claim "rigorous safety practices and following safety protocols" while declining to enforce them. Or maybe the practices and protocols referenced were about haircuts, shoe shines, uniforms, and weapons?
