The virus has been blamed for over 170,000 deaths and 5.4 million confirmed infections in the U.S. Meanwhile, officials at another UNC school — East Carolina University — said Monday that they had identified a COVID-19 cluster at a dorm. The University of Notre Dame reported 58 confirmed cases since students returned to the South Bend, Indiana, campus in early August. Among universities moving ahead with in-person fall classes is Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where a dozen students tested positive last month after an off-campus gathering. “They are doing the best they can with their staff and trying to educate the students about masks and social distancing and the effects of this virus,” she said.
