Another Laurier student in Waterloo has tested positive for COVID-19.
The local university confirmed the case on its website on Wednesday.
It said the affected individual does not live in the university's student residence hall.
“Anyone identified as being a high-risk close contact with the individual will be notified by public health officials directly. Laurier is taking direction from public health and will take further actions and provide further updates as necessary,” read Laurier's statement.
