The 麻豆影院 City Health Department has notified 25 residents of Clark Hall on 麻豆影院鈥檚 麻豆影院 Campus that they must quarantine until Oct. 7 due to possible exposure to the communicable disease COVID-19.
The 25 students will remain in a separate section of Clark Hall. Meals will be provided along with other university resources through the quarantine period. Anyone testing positive has been moved to isolation. The university will work with the students and their instructors to ensure a seamless transition to remote learning for any face-to-face courses.
Anyone who believes they are a close contact or who is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should contact the COVID Response Team at 330-672-2525.
