A tale of three quarantines: Students on and off campus share their experiences

A tale of three quarantines: Students on and off campus share their experiences

This photo was taken on Friday, Aug. 28 in Neely Hall by a student who must remain anonymous for privacy reasons. The Daily Egyptian recently ran a story about how chairs were being placed outside of students dorms to signify that they were in quarantine and required meal delivery. A student from Neely Hall whose suite mate is in quarantine is reporting that since the DEs article came out, the chairs have been removed. Im frustrated with the universitys COVID-19 and contact tracing response, the student told the DE. My suitemate has come into contact with someone and has been quarantined in his room, however I was never contacted by the university or my suitemate about the situation. This lack of communication has possibly put my life and many other students lives at risk and things need to change.
