SpaceX reportedly quarantines a dozen employees after 2 workers test positive for COVID-19
SpaceX has sent over a dozen employees home after an employee and a medic tested positive for the coronavirus, according to a company email seen by the Telegraph.
It asked anyone who had had contact with the employee to go home and quarantine for 14 days, and is performing a "video review" of the person's movements while they were in the office. The medic had contact with 12 people, who have been sent home. The employee had tested positive after returning from traveling abroad, and SpaceX claimed in its email that the risk of them having spread the virus to other employees was "very low" and "no greater than going to the grocery store" because the person had only been on-site for one day, last Monday.
