Coronavirus: An electrical worker and an employee on a Metropolitan Transportation Authority are infected
The electrical worker, who reported to the downtown Los Angeles subway yard March 16 with flu-like symptoms but stayed inside a truck, later tested positive for the coronavirus, Metro said in a statement.
Three other employees who had close contact with the worker were sent home and were asked to self-quarantine for two weeks, officials said. Crews working on the project have “returned to work with remedial actions taken,” the agency said, including holding meetings outdoors “whenever possible” and using a roll call instead of passing around a sign-in sheet.

All employees who worked on the same floor of the office building in Inglewood were “notified and placed into quarantine,” officials said.Los Angeles County authorities on Tuesday confirmed an additional 128 cases of infection with the coronavirus, bringing the county’s total to 662.
