University of Miami reports presumptive COVID-19 case at medical campus

MIAMI — In a statement released on Tuesday, the University of Miami announced there is a presumptive case of COVID-19 with links to the medical campus near downtown Miami.

Doctors consider it a presumptive case because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has yet to release confirmation.

“This person is in good condition and is self-isolating to prevent the spread of infection to others,” a university spokesperson wrote, adding that “those who have been in close contact with this individual" are being informed.

UM’s Miller School of Medicine is within the Jackson Memorial Medical Center complex in Miami-Dade County’s Health District in Allapattah.
