A US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention employee has been diagnosed with coronavirus, the agency announced Monday — its first worker to get the bug since it began handling the pandemic response.

The unnamed worker has not been involved in the COVID-19 response and has not been in the workplace since March 6, the agency says.

The employee, who is currently in good condition, was asymptomatic at that time, the CDC added.

“After developing symptoms, the individual took the appropriate action and stayed home,” the agency said. “CDC will handle each case with the utmost respect to privacy, while also informing potentially affected staff and taking swift measures to mitigate spread of the virus.”

The agency said it has taken all the necessary measures to prevent the spread of the virus in the workplace.

“These steps have included encouraging sick employees to stay home, increasing the frequency of cleaning CDC facilities, canceling large meetings and staff travel, increasing the use of teleworking among staff, and encouraging social distancing and other preventive measures,” the department said in a statement.
