New AU Community Cases of COVID-19

American University has four additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 among our community, three of whom are students and one is a member of our alumni community who attended a small AU sponsored off-campus event. All four cases are off campus and are self-isolating in their personal residences.
 
Our medical director Dr. David Reitman informed the community about this latest news, and you can read his message here, which contains additional information. We have also created a page within our COVID-19 Resources site that will provide updated information to the community on future confirmed cases.
 
Last week, AU reported that a student who is residing on campus tested positive for COVID-19. That student continues to self-isolate as they recover.
