COVID-19 continues to spread within TSA. Latest update, and probably to travelers too!

More than two dozen Transportation Security Administration workers from airports across the U.S. have tested positive for coronavirus, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Airlines and TSA report 96% drop in air travel as pandemic continues

The Federal Aviation Administration says employees at 38 of its air traffic control facilities have tested positive for the virus, prompting altered operations and cleanings. Most recently, it said employees in Orlando and Newark tested positive.

At TSA checkpoints, officers now wear masks and — in some cases — face shields. The agency says 327 employees have tested positive for the virus and two have died. The agency has closed some checkpoints due to inadequate staffing, according to an aviation official familiar with the matter. Airlines have also seen employees fall ill; about 100 American Airlines flight attendants have contracted Covid-19, according to their union.
