BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Health officials confirmed the first case of COVID-19 on Western Washington University’s Bellingham campus.
The university says they learned a contracted construction worker on the site of a new residence hall tested positive for the disease late Thursday.
Western says the worker lives in Snohomish County and was commuting to Bellingham to work at the site.
The worker is now in self-isolation and work at the residence hall is on hold.
