"EPA Faces Possible Coronavirus Outbreaks At Multiple Offices" [1]

"An employee who works at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office in Helena, Mont., tested “presumed positive” for COVID-19, according to the agency and an internal email obtained by The Hill.

In the email, which was sent to employees on Sunday and signed by Region 8 Administrator Greg Sopkin and Assistant Administrator Susan Parker Bodine, said the person, who works on the second floor, had an initial test for the coronavirus come back positive.

Employees who work on that floor were asked to self-quarantine for two weeks, the email said."
