NJ Transit’s CEO and president is the latest transit executive in the metro region to test positive for the coronavirus, agency officials said.

Kevin Corbett learned he tested positive for COVID-19 and is maintaining his regular work schedule while self isolating at home, NJ Transit said in a release.

Last month, Rick Cotton, Port Authority executive director and Pat Foye, New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority president tested positive for the coronavirus, self-isolated and maintained a work schedule from home. Both have been cleared to return to work.

Corbett was last in the office in Newark on April 7, the day of NJ Transit’s last board of directors meeting, which was held by phone. He remains focused on “the health and safety of NJ Transit’s customers and employees and ensuring essential personnel can get to and from work during this health crisis,” the agency said in a statement.

So far three NJ Transit employees have died from COVID-19. As of Thursday, 212 total employees have tested positive; there are 128 employees with tests pending and 21 employees who have tested positive returned to work, said Nancy Snyder, a spokeswoman.
