Yesterday a King County resident's tragic death following diagnosis with the
novel coronavirus/COVID-19 drove home the threats that face communities
around the world. Sound Transit is among the agencies across our region and
state that are mobilizing to help control the spread of the disease, and we
ask you to play your part.

Crews are putting focus on cleaning vehicles and facilities more deeply and
frequently, and removing any vehicle from service until it is disinfected
when there is a biohazard. If you see something that needs attention please
alert a transit employee. You can call or text our security office 24 hours
a day at 206-398-5268. Our cleaning will put particular focus on "high
touch" areas like handrails, escalators, elevator buttons, etc.

What can you do? Transit riders have the most important role to play. It is
critical to observe the precautions

being emphasized by health authorities. Among the most important is staying
home and avoiding public places if you experience potential symptoms.

As with typical colds and flus, we can carry a virus before we are aware of
any symptoms. It's critical to wash our hands often and thoroughly, using
soap and hot water, and avoid touching our noses, mouths and eyes with
unwashed hands. Keep tissues handy and cover coughs and sneezes.

Health authorities are also emphasizing the effectiveness of "social
distancing"- staying away from others when possible, especially those with
potential symptoms. We all know that can be difficult on transit, but
remember it's not rude to get up and move if you need to.

Health authorities have emphasized that so far widespread transmission of
the virus is not occurring, but are planning response measures for the
scenario of more cases. Sound Transit will work with authorities and closely
observe their guidance going forward.

Check back here for the latest updates. Together our actions can help
control the spread of this disease. Let's all stay attentive and vigilant.
