On Day 1; I was working with Person X to give him a pass-down from the day shift workload. We were in a 6 feet by 6 feet office for about 15 minutes. Later that evening; after my shift was done; Person X went to the hospital and was positive for COVID-19. I was never contacted by anyone from Management or the CDC about being exposed to COVID-19 positive person. I also worked on Day 2. I then started time off on Day 3. While on time off a coworker told me about how Person X was in the hospital and positive for COVID-19; which occurred on Day 1. I used time off for 14 days before I returned to work. Luckily I never showed symptoms or infected any other person. I took it upon myself to stay away from work for 14 days to protect my coworkers.
Mechanic reported being unknowingly exposed to a COVID-19 positive employee and not being notified of the exposure by company management.
