The gatherings, all of which were hosted in private homes, reportedly involved students from Western University.

Three students involved in this outbreak live on campus and have been moved into isolation. 

“With the introduction of variants of concern in our community, and talk of a possible third wave, we can’t let our guard down," Jennifer Massey, associate vice-president of student experience, said.
