A Halifax Transit bus driver has tested positive for COVID-19, according to the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 508. Union president Kenny Wilson confirmed the positive case to Global News on Wednesday.
He said the driver has no connection to travel and is concerned it was the result of community spread. @ATU508 sending thoughts and prayers to @hfxtransit bus operator who tested positive for COVID-19 today. @StrangRobert hope this isnt the first of many more to come. @ATU508 have been asking for load limits for public and operator safety. #transitworkersmatter — Ken Wilson (@ATU508Pres) April 8, 2020 Wilson said the driver felt “off” on Saturday, so he went and got tested and received the positive result on Wednesday.
