NFTA yard worker test positive for coronavirus

The Niagara Frontier Transit Authority said one of its Metro Rail maintenance employees has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

In a statement, the NFTA said the worker became ill during a vacation, and was last on the job in the Metro Rail yard shop on March 6.

The employee, who was not "customer-facing," is recovering well and has been in self-quarantine since March 14.

The NFTA has informed the Erie County Department of Health and is following "all appropriate protocols."

Mark Wozniak, WBFO's local All Things Considered host, has been at WBFO since mid-1978.
