SHIPYARD Contractor Tested Positive For Coronavirus

 

Navy shipbuilder Bath Iron Works reports that a contractor tested positive for the coronavirus.

In a letter to employees, the shipyard says the individual is quarantined and receiving medical care. Two other vendors who worked in close proximity with the worker have been placed in quarantine.

The infected worker was wearing personal protective equipment while at the shipyard, officials said.

Two shipbuilders previously tested positive for the virus, but both recovered and returned to work.
