Tenaya Hall residents on the dorm’s first and second floor were notified that only third floor residents would be allowed to go to a meeting related to the new coronavirus case, according to an email they received from Assistant Director of University Housing Daisy Castaneda.
Castaneda didn’t specify what the meeting was about, but residents confirmed that the meeting was related to the coronavirus case.
Attached to the email sent to Tenaya Hall residents was a document that explains a student tested positive for a communicable in their building. The document was signed by Vice President for Student Affairs Keith Humphrey.
