Two screening officers at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport tested positive for the coronavirus and are at home resting, according to a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration.
The TSA officers last worked at the airport more than 14 days ago, spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said late Saturday.
Farbstein said she was unable to provide additional information Saturday night. It remains unknown whether additional airport workers are being tested or quarantined.
The coronavirus, also known as the COVID-19 disease it causes, has infected more than 1,000 people across Maryland and killed 10 of them, according to figures released Saturday by the state health department.
The TSA formed a website to track cases that arise at American airports. Cases are only listed on the map for which an officer tests positive within 14 days. After 14 days, the case is removed from the map.
