The idea of moving back on campus during the coronavirus pandemic isn’t sitting well with some students at the University of North Carolina.
Chapel Hill, N. C. — The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill launched a coronavirus dashboard to keep the college community updated on data related to the coronavirus. On the resource, students can see how much personal protective equipment is available and how many positive identified cases of the coronavirus there are in the community. For some students living on campus, this resource has showed them that coming back to campus just might not be worth it. As of Saturday, there were more than 100 students who have tested positive for coronavirus since March. A total of 10% of student tests have come back positive, the dashboard shows. With students prepared to move in dorms starting Monday, some wonder if returning to campus right now is worth it. «It’s just beyond disappointing for me at this moment,» said student Greear Webb. The university is not planning on testing every student before their return to campus. A statement from the school said this is not recommended by the Centers from Disease Control and Prevention.
