Students are returning to campuses in some parts of the country this week as universities go to a model of some in-person and some remote learning this semester.
At the University of Kentucky, classes start on Monday, and students are required to get a COVID-19 test upon return to campus.
In a bit of encouraging news, less than 1% of the more than 10,000 students tested have been positive for the virus, according to WDRB.com:
Out of more than 10,000 students who have been tested, 78 have been found to have been infected. That’s about 0.74%.
That’s an encouraging sign for Kentucky if the Wildcats, and the SEC at large, are going to play football this fall.
Now, it will be important to keep students safe as the semester begins in earnest. If there’s a spike in positive results, it could put the season in jeopardy.
