(La Porte, IN) - The city of La Porte’s bus service is rolling again.  According to the mayor’s office, partial service resumed at 9:30 this morning with one bus.

The service was suspended yesterday because a TransPorte worker tested positive for coronavirus.  In response, city employees are being tested and, so far, nobody else has turned up positive, according to the mayor's office.   Mayor Tom Dermody said more buses will be placed back into service as more negative test results come in. 

Dermody said the employee testing positive could face disciplinary action.  The individual did not inform the city of being tested until receiving the positive results several days later,  he said.  Dermody said employees are required to inform the city as soon as they're tested so they can be quarantined until the test results are known. 

The individual worked two more days after being tested, he said.
