FREDONIA, N.Y. (WKBW) — The State University of New York at Fredonia reports a student has tested positive for COVID-19.
The campus community was notified by email on Thursday afternoon of the first positive student case.
In the statement, SUNY Fredonia President Dr. Stephen H. Kolison says, "That student notified the college, and was quickly moved into isolation off-campus.
