Beaver County Commissioner Jack Manning is being tested for COVID-19 after exhibiting symptoms associated with the virus this weekend. All CDC guidelines and (Johns Hopkins) protocols for contact-tracing are being adhered to in the courthouse, and a handful of employees are self-isolating until the results of Commissioner Manning’s test are available.
