A GO Transit driver is self-isolating after the transit agency reported that someone on a bus from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport to Hamilton has tested positive for COVID-19.
The affected bus was Route 40 from Richmond Hill Centre, which departed just after 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 12, bound for Hamilton GO Centre via Pearson International Airport.
Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins told Global News the bus driver was checked out after the infected passenger checked into a health clinic in Hamilton and tested positive for COVID-19.
Out of an abundance of caution, the bus was removed from service & thoroughly disinfected. Hamilton Public Health has determined the risk is low & does not need to speak with customers.
