Cases in Worcester are ticking upward after more than 20 College of the Holy Cross students tested positive for the novel coronavirus in connection to a party held at an off-campus apartment in mid-August, according to officials. Holy Cross told Boston.com in a statement that while its fall semester is fully remote, officials are continuing to remind off-campus students of the importance behind social distancing guidelines, wearing a mask in public, and slowing the spread of the virus. Yet earlier this month, college officers responded to a “large party” on College Street where at least one person had COVID-19, many were reportedly maskless or not socially distancing, and the apartment had more people than the limit set by the state’s guidelines.
