Bradley quarantines student body after COVID-19 outbreak

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) – Bradley University in central Illinois is requiring its entire student body to quarantine for two weeks because of a COVID-19 outbreak, and is reverting to remote learning. Officials of the private university said Tuesday they have linked the coronavirus spike to off-campus gatherings. The Peoria university is requiring students to limit nonessential interactions, stay in their off-campus apartments, residence halls or Greek houses and take classes remotely beginning Tuesday. The university says it has tallied about 50 COVID-19 cases so far, adding emergency measures are needed to respond to the outbreak without disrupting academic progress. About 4,600 undergraduates were enrolled at Bradley last year, though it isn’t immediately known how many are currently enrolled.
