According
to the statement, the tally of active cases includes 52 bus operators,
four subway motor-persons, and five trolley motor-persons. In addition,
the statement said, six employees have recovered after testing positive
and one employee has died.
The T has previously said the deceased employee was an inspector.
The statement said the T has taken several steps to protect employees, including distributing protective gear such as masks, hand sanitizer, protective eyewear, and gloves; testing workers for the virus at the COVID-19 Emergency Responder Testing Facility at Patriot Place; conducting temperature checks at about a dozen key bus and subway locations when employees report to work; and implementing rear-door boarding on all buses and trolleys at street-level stops on the Green Line and Mattapan Line to support social distancing.
