At least one passenger with confirmed coronavirus case took a JetBlue flight out of JFK on March 11. A second passenger deplaned from a Delta flight on March 16, and after boarding, learned he or she had been exposed to a coronavirus case. It is unclear whether the workers contracted the cases at work or elsewhere.

A TSA worker from the Atlanta airport has tested positive for coronavirus. The employee worked in Terminal F, which is the international terminal, in the departures area at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. His last day of work was the AM shift on Saturday, March 7. According to the TSA’s website, seven TSA agents at five different airports have tested positive for the virus.
