FARMVILLE, Va. โ A student at Longwood University was tested for the new coronavirus (COVID-19) and received a โpresumptive positiveโ result, the university announced Wednesday.
University officials say the student will continue to self-quarantine while waiting for the CDC to confirm the positive test.
This student has relatively mild symptoms and is a family contact of a presumptive positive COVID-19 case from another region of Virginia, according to Piedmont Health District officials.
The student has been in quarantine since March 9, and had just arrived to the Longwood campus on March 8, 2020.
The Virginia Department of Health believes that even with the presumptive positive result, โthere remains a low generalized risk" to the Longwood community, according to university officials.
