Three employees with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in California tested positive for the coronavirus, the agency confirmed Tuesday.
The employees, who work at Mineta San Jose International Airport in Santa Clara County, and all other workers they came in contact with over the past two weeks are quarantined at home.
“Screening checkpoints remain open and the agency is working with the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], as well as the California Department of Public Health and the Santa Clara County Public Health Department to monitor the situation as well as the health and safety of our employees and the traveling public. We will update as more information becomes available,†TSA said in a statement.
Not as well known as SFO, SJC is a significant international airport, and it is in the heart of Silicon Valley.
On another, but closely parallel tack, Santa Clara County has shut down all public gatherings larger than 1000 people. No Sharks or Barracudas hockey games, no concerts, no medium- and large-sized running events, such as the Shamrock Run which was to be this coming Saturday (my daughter and I were going to do the 10K distance).
If my church is fairly typical among Santa Clara County churches they're taking various common sense measures to reduce the risk of spreading infections.
