"We received confirmation that a second staff member from the Mechanical Engineering Department had tested positive.
He said DUT had taken "corrective measures" including:
- Requesting confirmation of the positive test results; and
- Tracing of all of the close contacts (staff and students) of the patient in the department, to place them in self-quarantine and to advise affected colleagues to work remotely.
"Those who were in contact with the staff member who tested positive for Covid-19 will be approached and informed about the situation."
