The Edmonton Police Service confirmed Thursday that a second employee has tested positive for COVID-19.

An EPS spokesperson told Global News the second confirmed case involves “a civilian member” and that this marks EPS’ “first case of the virus acquired through exposure (not travel).”

“Provincial health guidelines have been followed to limit any additional exposure of our members,” EPS spokesperson Carolin Maran said in an email. “This individual was not in frequent contact with the public in their capacity as an EPS employee.

“They are currently in self-isolation at home where they are expected to make a full recovery.”
