An employee of the Department of Insurance who opened a package on Capitol Mall this morning came into contact with an unknown substance and became sick.
The unidentified woman was taken to a local hospital by her supervisor, Sacramento City Fire Department spokesman Mike Doucette said.
The room where she opened the package was closed and the surrounding area was evacuated.
Sacramento Fire Hazardous Materials personnel subsequently entered the room and removed the package for testing.
Tests failed to identify a toxic or hazardous substance, Doucette said, but two California Highway Patrol Officers who touched the package were also taken to hospital as a precaution.
