Student worked in press box and interacted with crowd at March 11 baseball game and attended sorority meeting on March 16.

A Stetson University student who worked the press box and interacted with the crowd during a baseball game March 11 has tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the university.

Stetson University received confirmation Tuesday that the student had tested positive for COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, according to a statement Tuesday night from the school.

The student lived off-campus and is being treated in a hospital in Orlando.

The student’s family asked that this information be released to the community, Stetson officials said.

The student had been feeling ill and had limited her access and interactions on the campus since March 6. But she attended a Stetson baseball game March 11 at Melching Field as a student employee, the university said.

She worked in the press box, ran promotions and interacted with the crowd. She also attended a sorority meeting March 16, the university said.

The sorority and athletics department at Stetson have been notified. The city of DeLand Parks and Recreation Department also has been notified since Melching Field is a city property.

The university alerted anyone who may have been in contact with the student and asked them to monitor their symptoms and report any symptoms to the university’s health service.

Spokesman for the city of DeLand Chris Graham said the city was sanitizing the press box as a precaution.

"We were informed that a student tested positive and she apparently worked in the press box at a baseball game on March 11," Graham said. "We informed our employees who were at the game. We are about three weeks out from when that occurred. As far as I know, they are OK.

"We are praying for her and her family and the Stetson community," Graham said.
