Out of an abundance of caution, residents of Rice Residence are required to self-isolate until they receive a negative COVID-19 test result. This comes as a result of two confirmed, but unrelated, cases of COVID-19 in Rice Residence. Any residents of Loyola Residence who may have spent any extended time in Rice from April 26-May 3 are also being asked to self-isolate until they receive a negative COVID-19 test result.
This decision was made out of an abundance of caution by Public Health. Public Health has not informed the university of any violation of public health measures. Those required to self-isolate are doing so per provincial COVID-19 protocols. The university will continue to work with Public Health, and COVID-19 testing is available on campus.
