A case of COVID-19 linked to the University of Windsor has been identified.
The Windsor Essex County Health Unit advised the university on Monday that a member of the on-campus community tested positive and is isolating off-campus.
The University of Windsor is working with the health unit to identify possible close contacts. The health unit indicated there is no risk to the campus community.
“The affected individual is in the thoughts of all members of the University of Windsor family at this difficult time. We wish them a very swift recovery,” said the University of Windsor President and Vice-Chancellor Rob Gordon.
Officials are reminding students, faculty, and staff to continue to complete self-assessments before going to campus, wear a mask, and keep a distance from others whenever possible.
This is the second COVID-19 case linked to the University of Windsor. However, the first case was a student who did not attend class on-campus.
