Travle Midway Airport i Chicago berørt av viruset - Tyler Rogoway

As the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold in the U.S. and around the world, one of the first signs of how such a pandemic can impact critical services has reared its ugly head at Chicago's bustling Midway Airport. A ground stop was called after three technicians that work in the tower tested positive for the virus. The tower was cleared as per the CDC's recommendations and operations are set to resume, but at a reduced capacity using different air traffic handling procedures directed through a remote facility.
