To: University Community
From: Donna Eddleman, University Dean of Student Affairs, and Michelle Rogers, Vice President for Administration
Subject: Health Advisory, Coronavirus
We have learned that a University of Redlands graduate student living in Central Avenue Apartments, a property owned by the University and located just south of the Redlands main campus, is reporting a positive test for COVID-19. The student is currently self-isolating at a non-University property and will continue to do so until deemed no longer at risk for spreading the virus.
A University Public Safety officer, who is certified in contact tracing, has followed up with the student. The student has not been on campus and has not been in contact with U of R faculty, staff/administrators, or students. The individual has not used the common laundry room at Central Apartments, but did recently use the apartment’s pool with two friends, neither of whom are students. The friends have both been notified. After calling the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, they were tested at the same COVID facility used by our student, with results pending. The University is deep-cleaning and sanitizing the Central Apartments pool area, as well as the individual unit.
As a reminder, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises everyone to:
The safety of our students, faculty, and staff remains our highest priority, and we continue to work closely with the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health and follow guidelines provided by the CDC.
