Two St. Clair College students living at a residence on the main campus in Windsor have tested positive for COVID-19. Both students had direct contact with each other without appropriate PPE.
The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has contacted the affected students and ordered them to self-isolate. The health unit will continue to work with the College to monitor the situation.
St. Clair College is working with the health unit as it investigates the cases and assesses the level of risk at the residence, which is currently considered low because of strong cleaning and COVID protocols in the residence’s common areas.
The College and residence staff have asked all students living in residence to monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19 and self-isolate immediately if they develop symptoms, which must be reported to residence staff.
All students in the residence have been reminded of their responsibility to mitigate transmission of COVID-19 by following all safety protocols established by the Health Unit and Residence Management.
St. Clair College community extends its best wishes for a speedy and thorough recovery to both students.
The College's COVID 19 plan requires students and staff to fill out an on-line questionnaire daily to obtain access to campuses and the residence.
We will provide further updates as we receive information from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit if necessary.
