Metrolinx says a GO Transit train operator on the Kitchener and Lakeshore corridors has tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
In a tweet on Friday, Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins said the operator last worked on March 20 and is now recovering at home.
She added that any staff members who were in close contact with him are now in self-isolation and monitoring their health. Aikins stated that deep cleaning has been done in all work areas and train operators are separated from customers in the trains, so there was only limited exposure to customers.
The operator was last at work Mar 20. Any staff in close contact with him are now in self-isolation & monitoring their health.
