An Ottawa bus driver who worked over the Easter long weekend has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, OC Transpo says.
Ottawa transit boss John Manconi said in a memo that OC Transpo learned of the latest case within the transit agency on Thursday.
The operator was tested for the coronavirus on April 14, but Manconi says the driver in question might have been showing symptoms before then. “The operator last worked on April 11 and may have been experiencing symptoms as early as April 10,” he wrote.
Ottawa Public Health is conducting an investigation to determine who might have come into close contact with the driver in question, who was working over the April long weekend.
