The University of North Carolina (UNC)- Chapel Hill has identified a third cluster of coronavirus cases since the school moved to reopen this fall, health officials announced Saturday.
University officials found a “cluster,” of coronavirus cases in the Sigma Nu fraternity building, an off-campus residence. A “cluster” is defined by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services as five or more cases that are deemed close proximity in location.
“The individuals in this cluster have been identified and are isolating and receiving medical monitoring,” the university said in a statement. “We have also notified the Orange County Health Department and are working with them to identify additional potential exposures.”
The news comes a day after UNC reported two separate COVID-19 clusters in Ehringhaus Community and Granville Towers, two other dwellings near the university. The alerts did not say exactly how many cases were found in said clusters.
