TSA Agents Test Positive for Coronavirus

Three agents from San Jose International Airport are being treated while those they've been in contact with are quarantined.

Three Transportation Security Administration agents who worked at San Jose International Airport have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the agency announced late Tuesday. “The officers are receiving medical care and all TSA employees they have come in contact with over the past 14 days are quarantined at home,” the agency said in statement.

The states with the largest number of cases are Washington, New York, and California—all with over 150 confirmed cases each.
