SpaceX CEO Elon Musk reported on social media yesterday morning that he had taken four Covid-19 tests in one day, two of which were positive and two negative. It is not yet clear whether Musk has the virus, but the news immediately sparked unrest. Because SpaceX would send astronauts to the ISS this weekend. Can this continue, with a top executive who may have corona?

Elon Musk suddenly sent a series of tweets in which he said that he had been sniffling a bit, a cough and a mild fever in recent days. And then he announced that he had tested positive twice and negative twice.
The tweets then received a lot of response, including at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where four astronauts are fully preparing to leave for the ISS with a SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule on Sunday.
According to NASA CEO Jim Bridenstine, Musk should now be quarantined according to protocol and SpaceX should find out who the company’s CEO had been in contact with. According to SpaceX officials, that investigation has now been completed and Musk would not have exposed anyone essential to this mission to the virus. The astronauts run virtually no risk, it sounds. Two weeks before the launch, the astronauts went into hard quarantine: they were completely isolated and were not even allowed to meet their own families.
Musk himself will not be admitted to NASA facilities on Sunday. “Access is limited, it doesn’t matter whether your name is Elon Musk or not. If any of the protocols are compromised, you won’t get close to the astronauts.
