Liberty University announced a campus-wide quarantine on Thursday due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
The evangelical Christian school’s office of communications said the “temporary mitigation period” would occur between Monday and Sept. 10, with all residential classes moved online and large indoor gatherings suspended.
There are 159 known active cases of the coronavirus at Liberty, according to the Lynchburg, Va., college’s COVID-19 tracker, the highest number since last September when 141 individuals tested positive for the virus.
Out of the 159 known cases, 124 are among students.
……..
Outdoor events, including the football season’s opening game on Sept. 4, are set to go on as planned.
Masks and social distancing are encouraged on campus, but not required for either students or faculty. Free vaccines clinics will also be coming to the school, although the vaccine is also not required.
