Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Elon Musk and other Tesla employees are not at risk of having contracted the novel coronavirus after a July 3 meeting with Oklahoma’s governor, who said on Wednesday he had tested positive for the virus, a spokesman for the governor said.

“That visit was more than a week before the governor may have been contagious. There is no risk to any Tesla employees from the July 3 visit,” Charlie Hannema, a spokesman for Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said in a statement, adding an additional meeting with Tesla executives on Monday was conducted virtually over Zoom.
