Virginia Techâs COVID-19 numbers suggest a daunting situation.
More students are living in campus quarantine than ever before. The university on Tuesday reported more people testing positive in a single day â 61 individuals â than at any point since early September. President Tim Sands says the community should assume different strains of COVID-19, thought to be more contagious, are circulating locally.
But two opposing factors â old infections and new variants â are complicating this picture.
Is a surge in cases merely a result of sensitive COVID-19 tests that can pick up virus from a person no longer infectious? Or a prelude to a more contagious COVID-19 variant that could become the dominant strain by late March?
