There have been students placed in isolation at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill due to a large spread of covid cases in a dormitory on campus.
The university said Saturday that a cluster of at least five cases has been identified at Avery Residence Hall.
The announcement comes a day after university officials said that unvaccinated students will now have to be tested twice weekly. The initial requirement was once a week.
Earlier this month, university officials announced a cluster of cases connected to an event at the school of pharmacy.
