The Transportation Security Administration confirmed a short time ago that two of its officers working at JFK International Airport have tested positive for COVID-19, more commonly reffered to as coronavirus. Sources told NY1 that the officers, believed to be sisters, were diagnosed on March 12 and March 13.

They both worked as baggage screeners, one in Terminal 4 and one in Terminal 5, meaning they would have had little to no direct contact with the public.

There are reports that the night crew was sent home so that the terminals could be sanitized and that a morning shift supervisor who displayed some symptoms is also under quarantine.

The diagnoses are listed on the TSA website.

We are currently awaiting comment from the Port Authority of NY and NJ, the agency that operates JFK.
