3 of the Top 5 Airports With TSA Employee COVID-19 Cases Are In Florida

Over 10,000 airport workers have had a run in with COVID-19, according to the Transportation Security Administration. The TSA released this list of the airports that had the most employees with confirmed COVID-19 cases. Not surprisingly, the big city airports dominate the list.

Fortunately for us, Tampa International Airport is not on it. If you’re planning a trip for the holidays or vacation, these might be airports you might want to consider avoiding if you have to make a connection. [Source: Channel 8]
