Two more Fort Worth police officers test positive for coronavirus, to recover at home
Two more Fort Worth police officers have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the department said Friday.
The officers have not worked since April 1 and are recovering at home and doing well.
Six Fort Worth officers have tested positive for the virus in total, according to the department. The first positive tests were on March 28, when two officers received that result.
“We have created a dedicated team to investigate and backtrack the movements and encounters of each infected officer. The team is notifying anyone that may be at risk and may need to self-isolate,” the department wrote in a statement.
The vehicles and office space in which the officers worked are being disinfected, the department said.
