The University of Idaho confirmed one of the Nez Perce County COVID-19 cases is a UI employee. According to an email from President C. Scott Green the employee was a part-time employee who had not been to campus since March 11.
In his email Green said the Idaho North Central District has said the only contacts were other household members.
“From what we know of the guidance from the CDC, this employee was not contagious while on campus,” Green said in the email. “While the concern of exposure is low, the university has notified the co-workers of this employee’s condition and asked them to monitor for any potential symptoms.”
