Coronavirus cases are leveling off at most colleges and universities in the St. Louis region after several reported spikes following winter breaks.
St. Louis University may be an exception.
Administrators there are warning students to stop partying or face tighter restrictions on campus activities. Yet so far, cases of COVID-19 are not wildly outpacing numbers the school experienced in the fall semester.
SLU has reported 123 positive cases among students and staff since Jan. 20, and in the past week, 7.6% of tests have come back positive. Last semester’s positivity rate was 6.4%, and 544 people tested positive.
