This afternoon, the Ontario Ministry of Health announced the Province’s third confirmed case of Novel Coronavirus.

This individual is a Western student.

Since returning to London, Ont. from Wuhan, China on January 23, and before showing any symptoms, the student took great care and responsibility by self-isolating at home and seeking appropriate medical attention.

The student has not been on Western’s campus since returning to London, and Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) officials have confirmed there is very low risk to the campus community.

Western and MLHU officials are monitoring the student, who is now in good health.
