The woman had been tested with 10 other employees considered at high risk but the first test came up negative because she was on antibiotics for an unrelated illness, WNYW-TV reported. The publisher's statement said the victim was "already regarded as cured," according to WNYW. It's the fourth anthrax case in New York City, all involving media companies, and the seventh nationwide in the weeks since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The woman, whose name was not made public, works at the News Corp. building at 1211 Sixth Ave. WNYW said no other cases have been found at the building, which also is the headquarters for Fox News. The Fox television station and the newspaper are owned by News Corp., a worldwide media organization headed by Rupert Murdoch. :worry2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
