"This week the MTA was notified of three employees at the Fresh Pond Bus Depot who may have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Each employee is receiving appropriate care and doing well, and we wish them a swift recovery. Upon learning of these cases, we immediately enacted our standard protocols, which strictly adhere to the direction from the State Department of Health. Out of an abundance of caution, 34 employees at the depot who came in close contact with the individuals have been instructed to self-quarantine. The building itself has been fully and aggressively disinfected, twice, as per protocol. We continue to monitor the situation closely and we have contingency staffing plans in place."

“Acting NYCT Senior Vice President Craig Cipriano has been in constant contact with TWU Local 100 union leadership on this matter and three MTA managers were on site at 6 a.m. today."
