Canadore reports positive COVID-19 case

Canadore College says it has its first reported positive COVID-19 test. 

A news release from the College says the person is self-isolating and believes they were exposed to the coronavirus through travel. 

"There is no evidence of on-campus transmission of COVID-19, and on-campus activity continues," says the release. "Canadore has an extensive pandemic plan in place. Every student and employee must pass an online COVID-19 self-assessment, which asks about possible symptoms and exposure, before being allowed into any campus building."

Canadore isn't revealing whether the person is an employee or student, if they are a North Bay resident, nor the age range or sex of the person.

It does say the person has not been on campus and continues to work/study remotely.
