University of Tampa says students on spring break together tested positive for COVID-19
The University of Tampa announced Saturday that it was the latest Florida college or university touched by the coronavirus pandemic via five students who tested positive for COVID-19.
The school’s Saturday evening Twitter posting said the students had been on Spring Break together with other schoolmates. What the post didn’t say was where the students went on Spring Break or where they lived on or off campus.
The school’s residence halls will stay open until May 9 for students without other housing options. Like most other educational institutions at all levels, Tampa moved all classes online Tuesday.
