Elon Musk's SpaceX has reported at least one positive case of coronavirus (COVID-19) in its headquarters in Hawthorne, California, which has led the company to send some of its employees back home. A medic from One Medical, who provides on-site medical services, is also believed to have tested positive.

The company has started making its own hand sanitizers and protecting gears as a protective measure to foster hygiene at the workplace and among its employees. SpaceX has asked the employees, who were sent home after the positive cases came in light, to self isolate themselves for 14 days and carefully monitor their own health to recognize the signs of the novel coronavirus.
