The University of Tennessee at Knoxville has identified its 13th COVID-19 cluster of the spring semester, coming from an off-campus gathering.
The gathering took place March 12 at the 5000 block of Merchants Center Boulevard and then moved to an on-campus outdoor seating area near Stokely Management Center. It involves five COVID-19 cases and 24 close contacts, UT spokesperson Owen Driskill said. All those involved have worked with university contact tracing and taken precautions, and their cooperation is greatly appreciated, Driskill said.
The most recent cluster was not identified through campus saliva testing, which tests students weekly for COVID-19. UT defines a cluster as at least five positive COVID-19 cases or 20 close contacts who come from one event or location.
University of Tennessee identifies 12th COVID-19 cluster of the spring semester
The University of Tennessee has identified its 12th COVID-19 cluster of the spring semester.
The cluster is located in the Alpha Delta Pi sorority house, and is unrelated to the large cluster that was announced on Tuesday, UT spokesperson Owen Driskill said. It includes one COVID-19 case and 23 close contacts because of the house s living arrangements. Contact tracing has been completed, and the cooperation of the students is greatly appreciated, Driskill said.
Greek housing is more susceptible to clusters because of how the houses are arranged, with common living areas. Sorority houses often include shared kitchens, living spaces and bathrooms, which means a case of COVID-19 can cause the entire house to have to quarantine, UT administrators have said.
