Several students from the University of Connecticut were removed from their bedrooms after a full-fledged party on campus that violated the school’s coronavirus policy.
“Students did not wear masks, were closely assembled, and cared not only for their own health and well-being, but that of others,” said a letter Tuesday sent by officials from schools to the campus community.
Video of the party was posted on social media.
About 5,000 students returned to UConn’s Storrs campus last Friday. They were tested for coronavirus and expected to limit contact with others for 14 days.
The undisclosed number of students were blown out of their campus housing pending a school investigation, school officials said. The students also have to deal with extra disciplinary action.
School officials said this week that there is no outbreak of coronavirus on campus.
UConn has received more than 5,000 coronavirus test results for students on campus since Wednesday. Eight positive tests and are isolated.
Three off-campus students also tested positive, along with two faculty and staff.
