“The student has been very thorough in sharing their actions while briefly on campus and we thank them for their diligence,” says McMaster University, adding that all further contact tracing is currently being handled by local public health.
Reports of this new case come just a few days after the university confirmed a new case of COVID-19 found in an employee on October 4th, and is the 5th overall case confirmed by McMaster since the beginning of September.
