Humber has created a webpage to provide our community with the latest number of COVID-19 positive cases on campus. If Public Health determines there is a health and safety risk on campus due to a positive case of COVID-19, they will provide Humber with information and direction. The College will take the appropriate steps to maintain health and safety on campus and adjust operations, if required. Public Health will directly contact any individuals deemed to be at risk for contracting coronavirus as a result of the confirmed case.

As of September 28, we are currently reporting two confirmed cases. Having multiple confirmed cases does not mean that any specific action is required by the College, unless we are directed otherwise by Public Health. Each case is managed individually, unless they are found to be connected.

With the return to elementary and secondary schools last month, you may have heard reports that two positive cases in an elementary or secondary school would potentially result in classes being quarantined or schools closing. It is important to note that this threshold, mandated by the provincial government, does not apply to colleges and universities.

The Humber Covid-19 Reporting Health team is engaged in ongoing communication with Public Health. The team investigates all reports of presumed and confirmed cases of COVID-19 and ensures that Public Health is informed. If Public Health is informed of a positive case first, they ensure that Humber is notified immediately.

Humber will update this page every Monday with the number of confirmed positive COVID-19 cases reported to the College, if any. The numbers represent Humber and University of Guelph-Humber students, employees and others who were present on our campuses or other locations, either inside or outside, including residences, within 14 days of their diagnosis.

The week in which a case is shown as reported reflects the date that Humber received confirmation of a positive case. It does not necessarily reflect that the individual was on campus that week. For each case listed, Public Health will coordinate appropriate follow-up with individuals who may have been in contact with those who tested positive. In these instances, Public Health will continue to provide direction on Humber's response and takes responsibility for contact tracing.
