Vermont is testing for COVID more than most states, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. In letters to the school, Lorraine Sterritt, the college president, said that Halloween parties fuelled the outbreak. Before the post-Halloween surge, the college had reported 11 cases between Aug 27 and Oct 22, according to the dashboard. The school moved its classes online Friday amid the outbreak, but Sterritt said classes would continue in-person this week. The outbreak at Saint Michael’s comes as Vermont grapples with its highest number of new cases since the pandemic began, according to the Times database.
