Coronavirus possibility hits Pioneer

Buzz · March 10, 2020, 08:57:26 PM

Confirmed: A Pioneer driver and his matron were sent home when it was learned that the driver had recent contact with his son who has tested positive for the virus. His son is an EMT.

The driver is due to be tested tomorrow. Here's hoping his and the matron's test results come back negative.

Obviously my concern goes out to the driver and matron and pray that their results come back negative. Having said that I hope in the meantime as a precaution that his bus was already taken out of service and THOROUGHLY cleaned and disinfected!!!

I guess the Northwell 6 hour test result is more fake news.

Maybe they don’t want to post anything here. The company should tell us one way or the other. I have yet to see any memo posted.

Just to follow up, I learned that Pioneer did NOT transport this child.

I was in contact with Nat tonight and the test came back negative, and his son is doing good. Thank God! This part came from another driver that I called who spoke to Nat. To set the issue straight he called in to reported that he wasn't going to report to work, because he may have been in contact with the virus. Even though he didn't see his son for several days prior. He had to sign papers to isolate himself before they would do the test. He didn't want to take the chance of affecting anyone else (us) or the kids on his bus. I already knew that Nat was a stand-up guy, and this PROVES IT AGAIN!!!!

Thank You from me and your fellow workers!

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
