The employee did not come into work after having contact with the presumed positive patient, NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder said.
The employee works in the Capital Programs department and contacted Medical Services last weekend when they realized that someone they had contact with was later tested positive for the virus, officials said.
Cleaning and sanitation crews were dispatched to perform an “enhanced cleaning regimen” throughout headquarters as well as the areas the employee worked, officials said.
Meanwhile, employees who have the ability have been working remotely, officials said.

Other measures the facility is taking to prevent COVID-19 related risks can be found on the NJ Transit website.
