The Robert J. Surtees Athletic Centre at Nipissing University has been closed for deep cleaning.

This after a member of the campus community has tested positive for COVID-19.

Nipissing says the person lives off campus but was in the Athletic Centre on Friday, November 13th.

The individual is self-isolating and all contact tracing is being managed by public health.

Anyone who may have been in close contact with the individual will be contacted directly.

The university says they’re working with the health unit to ensure the health and well-being of the individual and the community.

Additional caretaking staff will be allocated to perform cleaning of all high touch areas, equipment and all spaces potentially accessed at the Athletic Centre.
