As novel coronavirus cases continue to climb across the United States and reach record daily highs, the number of federal workers who have tested positive for COVID-19 has also increased dramatically.
Across federal agencies and the U.S. military, nearly 1% of all federal personnel have tested positive for the virus. Nearly 19,000 civilian employees have contracted COVID-19, in addition to more than 20,000 military members. This comes as thousands of federal workers who had been teleworking from the outset of the pandemic are heading back to their offices, while many more have continued reporting to their normal duty stations without interruption.
