U of W reports third COVID-19 case in a week

The University of Windsor has reported another case of coronavirus.

The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has confirmed the school's third case within a week. This case is not connected to any other ones reported by the university so far.

"The member of the campus community is self-isolating and all appropriate protocols and cleaning measures have been taken," read a media release from the university. "As with all COVID-19 cases, the WECHU will take the lead on contact tracing. The university continues to work with and support the health unit as needed. There is no additional risk to the campus community at this time."

As of Monday afternoon, there was a total of 10 cases connected to U of W, with eight of them resolved. Among the cases that were cleared were five connected to an unauthorized Halloween party at a student residence.

Most classes at the university are by remote learning, with a few on-campus exceptions. Anyone going to campus must complete a self-assessment questionnaire beforehand.
