Another construction worker has tested positive for coronavirus at TCU
TCU announced that a fourth individual has tested positive for coronavirus on its campus. Three of the four individuals have been contracted construction workers.
The university said Wednesday that a second construction worker on TCU’s new music center tested positive for COVID-19. The individual came in direct contact with a construction worker who tested positive for the virus last Friday.
Both individuals last worked at the construction site on Thursday.
As a new construction project, the music center is not open to faculty, staff or students, the school said.
“The area was cleared of personnel and sanitized at that time and construction at the building is paused until May 1 ,” the school said. “The general risk to the TCU community from this case is considered low, given that the construction site is a new building and closed to anyone other than construction personnel.”
The first two positive cases on the TCU campus — a construction worker on the football stadium’s east-side expansion and a student — have recovered.
Construction has been deemed an “essential” business amid the pandemic.
TCU’s campus is currently closed as it’s gone to online-only classes for the remainder of the spring semester, as well as the summer semester.
