Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced some changes to his plan to reopen schools, which includes a small decrease in the case rate that would allow for campuses to open.
Eighty-five percent “of the on-campus students who are infected went home for the holiday and are testing positive during the incubation period following their return,” said Dr. Robert T. “Chip” Schooley, a professor of medicine who is helping run Return to Learn.“Our interpretation is that they acquired the virus in the community during the break. Going home during a raging pandemic is a dangerous thing.
About 7,300 students are currently living on campus, a figure that the university hopes to significantly increase by early February. Fewer than 40 students tested positive for the virus last fall when students moved into campus dorms.
