LEAKED: Internal Email From the New York Times Confirms Three Employees Have Tested Positive for Coronavirus
An internal email from the New York Times leaked to the Gateway Pundit reveals that three employees have tested positive for the coronavirus.
The email, sent from Arthur Gregg (A.G.) Sulzberger and Dean Baquet to all company employees on Wednesday asserted that the latest employee to test positive works on the third floor of 620 Eighth Avenue and was last in the office on Friday, March 6.
The NYT heads began by saying “we’re sorry to say that for the third night in a row we are writing to let you know of a colleague who has tested positive for Covid-19.”
They confirmed that the employee is not hospitalized and is self-quarantined at home.
“We are trying to identify and contact everyone who was in contact with this individual, though we’ve learned in recent days that even with our best efforts it’s impossible to fully achieve that goal. We’re asking those who we can confirm were potentially exposed to monitor their health and self-quarantine until Friday, March 20,” the email continues. “These cases have only reinforced the importance of having the vast majority of our workforce work remotely to ensure the health and safety of you and your family.”
The New York Post reported on the first case in the Times newsroom on Tuesday. By Wednesday, there were three confirmed cases.
“As you can see in our reporting, these confirmed cases are likely to continue to grow. Starting tomorrow, Thursday, March 19, we will communicate any new confirmed cases in the daily companywide email and #all-company slack. We know you, like us, will be wishing all our friends and colleagues who are impacted, as well as their families, strength in the days ahead,” the email concludes.
The Gateway Pundit has reached out to the communications team at the New York Times for comment and will update this story if one is provided.
