(Reuters) - An employee at Californias largest oil refinery tested positive for the coronavirus and, along with a few other workers, went into self-quarantine this week. Marathon Petroleum Corps Los Angeles Refinery, located in Carson, California, is the states largest producer of gasoline, with the ability to process 363,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) of crude oil into fuels. The refinery is believed to be the first in the United States to report a worker with the fast-spreading respiratory illness. California has 15 refineries with a combined crude oil processing capacity of 1.9 million bpd. Marathon is the largest U.S. refiner, operating 16 refineries with a combined capacity to process 3 million bpd of crude oil, or 16% of national capacity.

(Reuters) - An employee at Californias largest oil refinery tested positive for the coronavirus and, along with a few other workers, went into self-quarantine on Wednesday, three sources familiar with the matter said. Marathon Petroleum Corps Los Angeles Refinery is the states largest producer of gasoline, with the ability to process 363,000 barrels-per-day (bpd) of crude oil into fuels. The refinery is believed to be the first in the United States with a reported worker illness. The pandemic has infected nearly 1,900 people in the United States and 141,000 worldwide, killed more than 5,000 and shuttered schools, sports arenas and offices. Californias about 250 reported cases place it third in the United States, behind Washington and New York states.

Marathon Petroleum chief Gary Heminger will retire next year after almost a decade in charge, the U.S. refiner said on Thursday, as it announced plans to spin off its gas station business Speedway and review its midstream assets. He has worked for Marathon since the mid-1970s and has been at the helm since 2011. DE Shaw, which owns a 0.9% stake in Marathon, has backed Elliott's call to split the company. Regarding the spinoff, Marathon said Speedway would trade as an independent public company after the separation is completed. Net income attributable to the company rose 48.6% to $1.10 billion or $1.67 per share, in the third quarter ended Sept. 30.

The armed robber suspected in a holdup at a Marathon gas station in Pembroke Pines has been arrested in connection with at least five other robberies, according to the FBI.

The call for Marathon Petroleum to split into separate businesses is gaining momentum among activist investors. Billionaire Paul Singer's hedge fund Elliott Management sent a letter to the board of Marathon on Wednesday, urging the refiner to divide into separate retail, midstream and refining companies to "remedy the company's chronic underperformance." Elliott owns about 2.5% in Marathon. Shaw, which owns a similar sized stake in Marathon as Elliott, is also supporting the breakup of Marathon, including spinning off Speedway gas stations, sources familiar with the matter told CNBC's David Faber. Marathon has plunged more than 34% in the past 12 months, underperforming its peers including Phillips 66 which is down 13% during the same period.
