COVID-19 Public Information

In the interest of protecting our employees' medical privacy, we treat health information in strict confidence. We are unable to release information that may compromise the privacy of any member of our workforce, including specific job titles or any personally identifiable information (PII).

Notes:

Metro only reports confirmed cases involving our employees. Contractors and members of the general public are not included in Metro's public reporting of COVID-19 cases.
For Metro's reporting purposes, a case is considered "confirmed" upon receipt of documentation from public health authorities or an employee's medical provider.
Employees identified as having close contact (above) are notified and sent home for quarantine/monitoring of symptoms under the care of their personal healthcare provider.
Identification and notification of other close contacts is handled by the health department in the appropriate jurisdiction.

COVID19 Ridership Monitoring

The table below shows daily updates on PRELIMINARY rail and bus ridership starting March 2, 2020. Ridership is compared to the equivalent calendar day in 2019. This information is subject to re-statement as late data emerges and as we seek the best method to measure ridership in a rapidly-changing situation. WMATA reserves the right to restate this data, and the information is not suitable for auditing or financial reporting purposes.
