Bethlehem city officials have confirmed six coronavirus cases, including a LANTA bus driver, Jen Rehill reports.

According to a news release from the Bethlehem Departments of Health and Emergency Management, the LANTA bus driver last worked on March 20th, and “drove several trips between Easton and Bethlehem during their shift.” No additional information has been released about the individual. 

The city Health Department says it’s working with LANTA to notify employees who may have had close contact with the driver — and those people will be quarantined for a minimum of 14 days. 

Meanwhile, city officials say anyone who feels they may have had close contact with the individual should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 — and contact their health care provider to see if they need to be tested.

Symptoms include fever, a cough and shortness of breath.
