Following an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases on-campus, Colby-Sawyer College has made changes to its quarantine housing, reports WMUR.
According to the report, the New London-based school currently has 57 active COVID-19 cases on-campus. This has forced the school to move towards remote learning. At this time, there are 18 students in isolation.
However, the dorm that was set aside for quarantining students has filled, a new isolation area has been set up in the gym. Following complaints about the living quality, school officials state that they added WiFi, electrical outlets, extra partitions, and study spaces into the area.
There are currently 81 additional students quartining in their dorm rooms, as they have been identified as a “close contact” of a COVID-19 patient.
On March 22nd, all students will be tested for the virus, and classes are expected to stay remote until at least March 24th.
