On-campus students whose roommates test positive for COVID-19 have the option to move into empty rooms on campus, but no student used the option last semester, a University spokesperson said.
With residence halls filling up with doubles and some quads last month, students said they’ve had to either quarantine with roommates positive for COVID-19 or move into empty units to avoid catching and spreading the disease.
Since the fall semester, students who test positive for COVID-19 have been required to self-isolate for at least 10 days without leaving their assigned unit, while they receive mental health services and essentials like meals and groceries from nearby staff members. But with more students living together this spring, officials and students said some roommates who might be exposed to the virus are quarantining in separate rooms to cut down on transmission across campus.
