The University of Guelph has confirmed one case of the novel coronavirus on its campus.
It was confirmed on Sunday but the school says the risk is considered low as proper COVID-19 precautions were followed while the individual was on campus.
It’s unclear who tested positive, whether it be a student, instructor or a staff member.
The university has created a page on its website that shares confirmed positive COVID-19 cases where the individual was on campus within the last 14 days.
