No, these workers don’t have COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by coronavirus. In fact, they take their temperatures twice daily and record the readings to make sure they remain healthy. Instead, they are among the NYISO employees who have volunteered to be sequestered in order to make sure the state’s electricity grid continues to operate smoothly.
