Four more depot personnel of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3 tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the total numbers of infected employees to 202 as of Tuesday night, the Department of Transportation said Wednesday.

DOTr Assistant Secretary Goddess Libiran said that of the infected workers, 181 are depot personnel, 15 are ticket sellers, three are train drivers, two are from Control Center operations, and one is a nurse from the Taft Ave. Station.

To help passengers determine if they had an interaction with the infected station personnel, the MRT-3 management has traced the working shifts of ticket sellers who contracted the respiratory disease. This shutdown period, however, may be shortened or extended, or until the management confirms a sufficient number of train personnel who will test negative and sustain limited operations.
