When it comes to COVID-19, SU can only do so much. Students must step up. Emily Steinberger | Photo Editor Facebook Google+ Since Feb. 13, there have been a total of 119 positive COVID-19 tests among people accessing campus, and as of Tuesday, there are 133 students in quarantine. The sudden rise in cases is linked to a string of large or maskless parties hosted off-campus. The disregard for social distancing and the dangers of COVID-19 have placed the spring semester at risk, though New York state will now require SU to shut down only if its positivity rate reaches 5%, or 880 cases. Regardless of whether testing has improved or SU has implemented new guidelines, students should be as careful — if not more careful — than last semester.
