PSTA Bus Operator Tests Positive for COVID-19 (7/17)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 17, 2020

PSTA Bus Operator Tests Positive for COVID-19

 

St. Petersburg, Fla– The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) received notification from a bus operator, that the operator had tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19). This is the ninth public-facing employee testing positive for PSTA.

The first bus operator last reported to work on Saturday, July 4th, 2020. The 14 days prior to that time the operator drove the following routes:

  • Route 20 – June 29th
  • Route 100x – June 30th & July 1st
  • Route 11 – June 30th
  • CAT – June 30th & July 1st
  • Route 18 – July 1st
  • Route 34 – July 1st
  • Route 14 – July 4th

PSTA does not believe any passengers came in contact with the driver, who remained socially distant from all passengers. However, anyone who feels like they experience symptoms should seek medical advice.

The operator is currently under treatment.

PSTA requires riders to wear protective face coverings while riding and to use transit for essential travel only. Essential travel means taking trips to work, hospitals, health care providers, pharmacies, grocery stores, banks, food distribution centers, schools, to provide care for family members, and other similar destinations.

In the middle of March, PSTA announced it is enforcing rear-door boarding only, except for those with mobility devices. Rear-door boarding and temporarily going fare-free reduces crowding at the farebox and limits exposure between passengers and bus operators. In addition, bus operators have the discretion to limit the number of riders on their bus to no more than 12 people at a given time. Lastly, PSTA is supplying bus operators with gloves, masks, hand sanitizer and disinfectant.

In total, including non-public facing employees, PSTA has 20 employees who have tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19).
