A fourth OC Transpo driver has tested positive for COVID-19, falling ill during his last shift on Sunday, April 19.
The driver is the sixth OC Transpo employee to test positive for COVID-19 and the fourth operator. The driver received a positive test result on April 21 and is now in self-isolation at home, according to a memo released Wednesday night by transit boss John Manconi.
