    Canterbury University confirmed a Covid case yesterday, just a day before O-Week begins today

    Canterbury University confirmed a Covid case yesterday, just a day before O-Week begins today


    The student arrived yesterday to Ilam Apartments and is now self-isolating offsite.

    Student Union President Pierce Crowley is hopeful the university's Covid cases will remain as low as possible.

    He says they're aware that as people move around, cases will pop up but the university, halls and student union are prepared and will work to slow the spread.
