A worker at LAX contracted coronavirus after screening incoming passengers for the illness - Business Insider

The worker reportedly wore the appropriate protective gear while screening passengers — it was not immediately clear whether they contracted the virus through contact with an infected passenger, or if it was a case of community transmission.

A spokesperson for DHS told Business Insider that the medical professional had worn the "correct protective equipment" while working. An internal email obtained by NBC characterized the person as a contractor for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . since mid-January, which was the first time that many became aware of the new virus.
