COVID-19 outbreaks have hit Los Angeles International Airport with at least 400 confirmed cases among Transportation Security Administration staff and workers at American and Southwest airlines, according to county health officials.
At least 220 TSA staffers at LAX have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the L.A. County Department of Public Health, although it was unclear when the cases were reported.
The TSA outbreak would be the largest active outbreak being monitored by the county department, which records outbreaks at residential care facilities, workplaces, food and retail stores, homeless service locations, schools, jails, law enforcement settings and courts.
