Three Students and First Latah County Resident Diagnosed with COVID-19



COVID-19 continues to shape our day-to-day lives and drives much of our
focus at the University of Idaho right now. Thank you for everything each
of you is doing to help us slow the spread of this virus – by social
distancing and staying home when possible.

Our Moscow community and Vandal Family were both impacted by COVID-19
today. We received word that three Vandals as well as a Latah County
resident have been diagnosed with the virus. We also became aware of a case
involving a Whitman County resident who was on the Moscow campus early last
week.

An 18-year-old student who moved out of the residence halls Sunday
confirmed positive with COVID-19 today in Canyon County. He was on campus
last week. The student is experiencing mild symptoms and is recovering at
home. University staff is contacting those who may have been exposed on
campus and preparing to isolate affected students. We strongly encourage
students on campus who may have been exposed to self-isolate in place to
protect themselves and others and for all students to follow social
distancing guidelines. Staff members working in the area are also being
notified.

A 21-year-old student was diagnosed with COVID-19 Tuesday. He is a
Boise-based student and had last been in class March 19 in the Boise Water
Center. He had mild symptoms and continues to be self-isolating at home.
Those who may have come in contact with him have been notified of possible
exposure.

A 38-year-old distance education graduate student was diagnosed with
COVID-19 recently. He engages with U of I electronically and lives out of
state.

Public Health – Idaho North Central District announced today the first
confirmed case of COVID-19 in Latah County. The individual is in their 60s
and is recovering at home. This case appears to be travel related,
according to Public Health. There is no known connection to U of I.

A man aged 30-39 who was diagnosed in Whitman County was on our Moscow
campus Tuesday, March 24. Those impacted have been notified. He has mild
symptoms and is recovering at home.

We wish all those suffering from coronavirus a quick and full recovery.
These cases are a sharp reminder that the coronavirus is in our communities
and we must all do our part to flatten the curve. No individual or age
group is immune to the potential of infection.

U of I will not announce each individual case as the number continues to
grow but will work with public health officials to notify those possibly
exposed. If cases at other university sites are found, those impacted will
be contacted directly.

Your health and safety continue to be our focus. I urge you to follow Gov.
Brad Little’s stay-at-home order and limit your exposure to others and
maintain social distancing practices when you do have to go out. I look
forward to the day when we are all back together again, but that just isn’t
possible for now. We must ensure social distance and take care of each
other.

Keep Calm and Vandal On.
