Coronavirus cases are leveling off at most colleges and universities in the St. Louis region after several reported spikes following winter breaks.
St. Louis University may be an exception.
Administrators there are warning students to stop partying or face tighter restrictions on campus activities. Yet so far, cases of COVID-19 are not wildly outpacing numbers the school experienced in the fall semester.
SLU has reported 123 positive cases among students and staff since Jan. 20, and in the past week, 7.6% of tests have come back positive. Last semester’s positivity rate was 6.4%, and 544 people tested positive.

The Racers made it four straight wins on Monday, Feb. 15, dominating Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville with an offensive showcase en route to a 86-57 win.
Murray State wasted no time getting to work, jumping out to a 4-5 start offensively to take an 11-5 lead with 16:15 left in the first half.
After a post hook from sophomore forward Demond Robinson and a technical foul was issued to Robinson for jawing at the opposing team, the Racers ramped up the intensity on both ends.
