The Rev. John Jenkins sent an email to university students and staff saying his symptoms were mild and that he would continue to work from home.
The announcement came after Jenkins this week apologized for not wearing a mask during Saturday’s Rose Garden ceremony for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee who is a Notre Dame graduate and law professor.
