Small Cluster Of Covid-19 Puts UNL Sorority Under Quarantine

The Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Nebraska is in quarantine after a small cluster of COVID-19 cases was identified at the chapter.

On Sunday the university announced that one confirmed positive case and four self-reported cases of COVID-19 were identified.

Most students started moving back for the fall semester last week while online classes began. In-person classes started on Monday.

Some students say it’s no surprise people have already contracted the virus on campus and they’re now starting to realize what their social lives will look like this semester.

“I don’t really have one right now,” senior Mark Champion tells 6 News. “I just hang out with my roommates most of the time. I live in a house off-campus, so I mostly just hang out there.”

Junior Jenna Thompson says the first week was all online so she didn’t see too many people on campus. "My social life is the same as it was this summer where I was just staying with my normal social group of just my roommates and close friends.”

The university says it has had fewer than 25 confirmed campus cases since August 12. More campus updates regarding the coronavirus can be found here.
