I got called in to work overtime on 6/23 in place of a peer who reported being mildly symptomatic prior to coming in to work. He later tested positive for COVID 19. Subsequently on 6/25 two of the people I worked with, both of who are regulars at that station/crew, became symptomatic and tested positive.
On 7/2 as an entire station/crew (different station from 6/23) was sent home because one of those members was symptomatic and tested positive, I was called in again to fill the overtime. After being at that station for several hours along with a crew which was floated in from another station to provide coverage, I was told by my superior that despite being asymptomatic it was required for me to be tested due to the proximity I had with several crew members who tested positive and time spent in the stations which had positive results for those assigned to those stations.
I went down immediately and received the test getting the results 15 minutes later. I tested positive. I was sent home and told they'd be in touch with me. My superior who is in touch with HR is saying he's not sure how to handle my situation because I am the first member to test positive yet be asymptomatic.
The next day my regular crew were all sent for tests due to their exposure to me for the roughly a week post my exposure to the suspected vector during my overtime. The other crews at my station have also been rotated through for the tests. So far all of their tests have come back as negative.
So I continue to sit at home over the past 3+ days and I still feel fine.
