Amherst, NY (WBEN) Daemen College reports two students who are enrolled in one of Daemen College’s Distance Education Programs, have tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19). These are the first confirmed cases in the Daemen community, which includes both the college’s main campus in Amherst, N.Y. and its Brooklyn Branch Campus.
The college says the students have been quarantined at their residences and are said to be doing well. The students are enrolled in a fully online program and have not been on either campus, Amherst or Brooklyn, so the school says there is no risk of transmission of the virus from these two to the Daemen community.
"The health, safety, and well-being of the entire Daemen community continues to be our top priority. Students, faculty, and staff are urged to continue monitoring their health," says Daemen President Gary Olson.
