The start of the school year isn’t going so well at Western, where five students have tested positive for COVID-19.
The Middlesex-London Health Unit declared a community outbreak over the weekend after three positive tests came back Saturday and two more were confirmed on Sunday.
Public Health officials say none of the infected students live on campus, nor have they attended classes or activities at the school, however they had a number of interactions at downtown bars, restaurants, and with other students living off-campus.
Public Health officials say they expect more cases in the coming days.
