Coronavirus cases have already caused some US colleges to halt in-person classes
Citat:
Just days before classes are slated to resume, colleges across the country are finding it may be next to impossible to create a coronavirus-free environment on campus.
Young people -- who US officials say helped drive a nationwide surge of new coronavirus cases over the summer -- are now returning to college campuses across the country. With them have come reports of hundreds of infections. Despite efforts to keep the virus at bay, outbreaks have been traced to off-campus gatherings, sororities and fraternities, and dorms, leaving schools to reassess how to proceed with the fall semester.
At Appalachian State University, a cluster was associated with the football team. Iowa State University said 175 students tested positive for the virus -- about 2.2% of those tested -- during move-in.

The editorial board for the student newspaper at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill didn't mince words in its assessment of the school's coronavirus response. The university was forced to cancel in-person classes after at least 130 students tested positive for Covid-19 in the first week of classes.
The university's chancellor blamed off-campus activities for the outbreak, but the newspaper saw it differently. "We all saw this coming," the Daily Tar Heel editorial board wrote. "Though these students are not faultless, it was the University's responsibility to disincentivize such gatherings by reconsidering its plans to operate in-person earlier on."
UNC is just one of many universities across the US experiencing outbreaks just days after students started returning to campuses. Indiana's University of Notre Dame was forced to announce yesterday that all undergraduate classes will be remote for the next two weeks as it tries to get its own recent spike in cases under control.
