SEATTLE — Officials say COVID-19 cases continue to climb at University of Washington sorority and fraternity organizations in an outbreak reported last week.
As of Monday morning, 163 people at a dozen sororities and fraternities have tested positive for COVID-19, University of Washington spokesperson Victor Balta said on the university website.
Students in the Greek community who have tested positive or have COVID-like symptoms are being told to isolate at their residences, the post said. The university is not aware of any students who have been hospitalized or have reported severe symptoms.
Others who may have been exposed to positive cases, as well as members of fraternities and sororities with positive cases, are also being asked to isolate and get tested. The outbreak was first reported Thursday with 104 cases.
