SAN DIEGO — San Diego State reported two students who tested positive on Thursday, making four cases in the last two days and five total after 2,600 students moved to campus last week.
The university said the campus risk is still low, according to SDSU officials.
"These two cases are unrelated to one another, and are also unrelated to the two cases confirmed yesterday, Aug. 26," the university said in a statement. "Two new students, both of whom live off campus in San Diego, and who have not been to campus other than to seek testing at Student Health Services, have tested positive for COVID-19. Both individuals are recovering well and are away from campus."
They only came on to campus to be tested, according to a university email.
"The two students did not interact with campus, or with any SDSU employees outside of the SHS COVID-19 Test Collection Booth, and were not in any other spaces utilized by the campus community," the university said.
No details were given if the students attended any large gatherings or parties in the College Area last weekend.
Two other cases were reported among students on Wednesday, August 26. The university said those were unrelated to each other, both students live off-campus and were not related to any of the parties happening in the College Area last weekend.
Several parties were witnessed by News 8 last weekend after guidance was issued by the university to obey health codes issued by SDSU and the Center for Disease Control.
SDSU said disciplinary action would come for people who are in violation of health codes and is looking into the parties that were documented last weekend.
Thirteen SDSU students have contracted COVID-19 since March.
