Stanford University officials have announced that a faculty member who works in a clinic has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The university has canceled classes for the next two weeks, and the clinic where the person works will be thoroughly cleaned.
In a statement released by the university, officials said that the faculty member had not been in the work environment since first experiencing symptoms. The University has notified people who might have been exposed and requested that those who have, self-isolate.
Two undergraduate students at the university are in self-isolation after possible exposure to the virus. In the interim, classes will move to online formats and will not meet in person for the final two weeks of the winter quarter. Officials are also adjusting or canceling several large-group events at the university.
