The University of Alberta has confirmed one of its students has tested positive for COVID-19. On Saturday morning, Alberta Health Services informed U of A about the positive case and said the student took the correct measures after realizing he or she may be experiencing symptoms related to the novel coronavirus. “They absolutely did the right thing,” said facilities and operations vice-president Andrew Sharman. “The first moment they started to feel unwell they self-isolated, called 811 and followed up with Alberta Health Services, so that likely has prevented a wider spread of any potential cases.” It is the first positive case of the virus connected to the U of A.
