A school employee "received a presumptive positive test" for COVID-19 on Friday.
The University of Washington will hold classes remotely until the end of March in response to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the Seattle area, including one “presumptive positive” case involving a staff member, school officials announced Friday.
School facilities will remain open. The school also recommended “social distancing” for student groups and events. Officials at the school, the first university in the U.S. to close classrooms in response to the coronavirus outbreak, said they made the decision in consultation with health officials. The main campus of UW, Washington state’s flagship public university, is located in Seattle, where a number of COVID-19 cases have been confirmed. More than 10 deaths have been connected to a long-term care facility in the suburbs of Seattle.
The same day, UW officials announced one “presumptive positive” case involving a staff member at the university’s Seattle campus.
