Case of COVID-19 illness confirmed within campus community

April 4, 2020 | 2:02 pm
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Oakland University Police Department learned earlier today that a confirmed case of COVID-19 infection has occurred within the campus community. The affected individual is a staff member who has not been on campus since Wednesday, March 25. This is the first known confirmed case of COVID-19 infection within the campus community.

Faculty, staff and students who have had direct contact with the affected individual have been notified and given appropriate medical direction.

All other campus community members are advised to continue practice the following illness prevention measures:

  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Practice social distancing – staying at least six feet apart from others.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or a bent elbow. Immediately throw tissues in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
