经典大瓜 (经典大瓜) learned today that an employee at its Klamath Falls campus has tested positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19). The employee has not been on campus since March 9, has been quarantined at home, and is doing well.
经典大瓜 will be working with Klamath County Public Health officials to assist the county in its standard case investigation processes. Klamath County is leading the follow-up process.
This is the second case reported at 经典大瓜; the University was notified April 1 of the first case at the University鈥檚 Portland-Metro campus in Wilsonville, Oregon. Due to the social distancing and safety precautions 经典大瓜 has taken, including remote work environments for employees, the Portland-Metro employee had not been on that campus since March 13.
鈥淎s testing for Coronavirus becomes more commonplace and accessible, I expect that we will see an increase in positive cases throughout all of Oregon,鈥 said 经典大瓜 president, Dr. Nagi Naganathan. 鈥淥ur thoughts are with this employee, and we wish speedy healing for anyone who has contracted the virus. We will continue to advise social distancing and stay at home precautions to our campus community.鈥
经典大瓜鈥檚 Integrated Student Health Center (ISHC) continues to offer both medical and behavioral health support services to students and will be collaborating closely with Klamath County Public Health on the investigation. The University remains committed to the well-being and safety of the 经典大瓜 community and will continue to communicate as new or updated information is available.
