Mountain Line Employee Tests Positive For COVID-19

An employee of Flagstaff’s Mountain Line bus service has tested positive for COVID-19. NAIPTA officials found out Tuesday and say the employee last worked on Saturday. Health officials are asking those who rode the Mountain Line between April 1st and April 18th to watch for symptoms of the coronavirus for a two week period from when they last rode the bus. Symptoms include cough, fever and shortness of breath. Health officials say people who rode the bus are at low risk for potential exposure due to precautions the Mountain Line put into place starting on March 21st. Additional actions have taken place since the positive test. All employees must wear a mask, or a cloth face covering while on Mountain Line property or in a vehicle. All employees will also have their temperatures taken when reporting to work. Anyone experiencing symptoms should contact their healthcare provider or the Coconino County COVID-19 Information Line at (928) 679-7300.
