The second staff member at the city railway station in Flinders Street (Flinders Street), Melbourne CBD, was found to be Coronavirus positive, and 13 employees of the Melbourne city railway train (Metro Trains), which had been in close contact with him, were sent home in self-segregation.
According to an internal e-mail received by times, melbourne`s chief operating officer, baxter (Catherine Baxter), said another 13 employees at flinders street were identified as close contacts with the newly diagnosed person.
"Most of these contacts are short-lived, so there is a lower risk of transmission, and these employees have been instructed to isolate themselves and perform COVID-19 tests ," Baxter said in an email. "
The company also told staff that the employee had not engaged in any face-to-face work with passengers before being diagnosed. The company sealed off parts of Flinders Street Station for deep cleaning after finding the person positive.
The first person to be diagnosed with new crown pneumonia here is a cleaning contract worker. Cleaning company ISS earlier informed its staff that a cleaner who often works in Flinders Street was diagnosed. The man travelled to the local city railway station on 15 June during his infectious period.
The cleaner was sent home immediately after feeling unwell, and was later diagnosed. According to reports, the city railway train company did not inform its staff at Flinders Street Station of the incident for more than a week. The staff at the station discovered the situation by accident.
Baxter insisted this weekend that the newly diagnosed city rail train staff at flinders street station "had nothing to do with the ISS contract cases diagnosed earlier this week ".
"As our employees were unwell, they followed the correct rules for staying at home, sought a COVID-19 test and promptly informed the company of the positive results. "
