Case tracking: two community members test positive

Thursday, January 14, 2021

On Thursday, January 14, 2021, Region of Waterloo public health informed us of two individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 and had visited our campus.

Both are in self-isolation and neither had any on campus close contacts.

If you have not been identified as a close contact of these individuals, 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.

We take the privacy of individuals extremely seriously. In reporting on positive cases, the University will seek to protect the private health information of individuals. You should check our disclosure protocol for what to do if someone reveals to you that they have tested positive for COVID-19.
