At least 67 DC firefighters self-quarantined after 2 test positive for coronavirus

WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - At least 67 D.C. firefighters are in self-quarantine after coming in contact with two colleagues who tested positive for COVID-19, the fire chief confirmed Wednesday.

“The Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department (FEMS) has been notified by DC Health that an additional member has tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19), bringing the total confirmed cases in the department to two," said DC Fire and EMS Chief Gregory M. Dean.

Dean says the DC Health Department and DCFEMS are working together to identify and reach out to any members and patients who may have come in contact with the second infected firefighter so an exposure evaluation can be completed.
