Construction worker at TCU’s new music center tests positive for coronavirus
A construction worker at TCU’s music center has tested positive for coronavirus, the school announced Friday night.
It’s the third positive test affiliated with TCU, along with a construction worker on the football stadium and a student. The two previous cases have recovered.
TCU said the construction worker on the music center last worked on site Thursday, and the area has been cleared of personnel and sanitized. TCU will pause construction on the new build for 14 days out of an “abundance of caution.”
“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 school said.
TCU said this is the only positive case on campus for now.
TCU has gone to online-only courses for the rest of its spring semester, although there is a limited number of students remaining on campus. The university said summer courses would be online-only as well.
