Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana has experienced a spike of COVID-19 cases since reopening its campus. Between August 6 and August 14, they had 29 confirmed cases of the virus, according to Today.
Before they were allowed to return to campus, all students were required to undergo regular health screenings and had to test negative for COVID-19. Though the campus has only been open for two weeks and many safety measures have been taken, the virus has continued to spread.
School officials believe they have determined why so many cases popped up so quickly. They claim the spread originated at a large off-campus party where little social distancing and mask-wearing took place.
Erin Hoffman Harding, the VP of student affairs at the school, spoke out regarding the incident and thanked the students involved for being honest about where they had been and who they had been in contact with.
