On Tuesday, July 13, 2021, Region of Waterloo public health informed us that two individuals who attended a hockey day camp at the University of Waterloo last week have tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, officials declared the cases an outbreak of COVID-19 at the day camp.
The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health have defined an outbreak as two or more lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in students and/or staff with an epidemiological link, within a 14-day period, where at least one case could have reasonably acquired their infection at the camp.
On Monday, July 12, Region of Waterloo public health informed us of one individual who tested positive for COVID-19 and who had visited our campus.
The individual is in self-isolation and public health are reaching out to any identified close contacts while on the campus.
If you have not been identified as a close contact of the individual, you should continue to follow our on-campus safety procedures including our campus check in screening daily, and self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 and seek testing if needed.
