Fox News: Congressional Staffer May Be Positive for Coronavirus After LAX Screening

‘A congressional staffer has tested positive for it’

EXCERPT:

GALLAGHER: "There are 3,500 passengers on board the 'Grand Princess' cruise ship sitting off the coast of San Francisco, none of them has tested positive for coronavirus because none of them have been tested. A Coast Guard helicopter just dropped off test kits a short time ago. The issue with the 'Grand Princess' is that three former passengers on the ship’s prior cruise to Mexico did contract coronavirus, one of them, an elderly man from Sacramento, died. Some passengers on this ship now are also on the cruise to Mexico, and about 100 passengers on the ship right now, might be 200, have been identified for testing. Meantime, there is brand-new information on the worker at Los Angeles International Airport who also tested positive for COVID-19. The employee is identified as a medical screener that Homeland Security says wore the protective equipment and clothing necessary and took the necessary precautions. That screener, who has a very mild case, is now under quarantine, and close family members and other workers have also been tested. Finally, Dr. Sarah Coady, the director of the Santa Clara County Health Department, was offering good advice to help stop the spread of coronavirus: Don’t touch your own mouth, nose, or eyes. One minute after she said it, she licked her finger to turn the page. Scene here is, do as I say, not as I do. Tough not to touch your face. The President says he hasn’t done it in weeks and he misses it.”
