41 Cal Poly students were told they had COVID. They didn’t, but 13 might after isolation [The Tribune (San Luis Obispo, Calif.)]
Jan. 28 Forty-one Cal Poly students were mistakenly told they had COVID-19 due to a technical error at a third-party lab, university administration announced Wednesday evening.
Then 13 of those students might have accidentally been exposed again while in isolation for their false positives.
In an email to the campus community Wednesday, President Jeffrey Armstrong, Vice President for Student Affairs Keith Humphrey and Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, Health and Wellbeing Tina Hadaway-Mellis said administration last week noted a “concerning, rapid increase we were seeing in the rate of positive COVID-19 tests among our students.”

HEAVY LIFT SLO County Public Health has administered the majority of local COVID-19 vaccinations thus far. At press time, SLO County had received 22,660 total doses of vaccine from the state and administered 10,539 first doses and 2,300 second doses. Public health is currently vaccinating between 4,000 to 5,000 residents age 75 and older each week at its clinics. But as the vaccine rollout at the county gains momentum, some officials have asked what role local hospitals and private health care offices are playing in the campaign. Statewide, hospitals are receiving their own vaccine doses at varying levels from both local public health departments and the state Department of Public Health.
