It was after flying 1 leg from ZZZ-ZZZ1 that we found out our Z [Flight Attendant] sat in the jumpseat a/c right; to avoid contact with crew as she had previously flown with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
Was notified that the Z Flight Attendant occupied R2 jumpseat(s) for takeoff and landing. Z FA was concerned with social distancing. Encourage FAs to look at other options or maybe a temporary approval from FAA to occupy different jumpseats during this time.
Two flight attendants reported being notified that another Flight Attendant on the same flight had possible exposure to COVID-19 and as a result occupied a different jumpseat in order to maintain social distancing from cabin crew.
