North Carolina State University reported a COVID cluster related to the athletics department days before the spring semester begin.
Posted — UpdatedStudents are slowly moving back to campus this week to start the semester all while North Carolina is reporting its highest coronavirus deaths, cases and hospitalizations. Students were sent home early last Spring as the number of coronavirus cases continued to rise on campus. But, university officials say they have a plan to "protect the pack" this semester.
On-campus housing will be open throughout the spring semester, and some undergraduate classes will be held in-person at NC State.
Any student returning back to campus or planning on living within a mile of campus has to provide the university with proof of a negative coronavirus test.
University officials say classes will begin on Jan. 19 as planned.
