As of Nov. 2, the University of Louisville has conducted more than 44,000 tests for COVID-19 and of those, 878 have come back positive. That puts our positivity rate at just under 2%. For students that do test positive, the university gives them the option to return home or go into university provided isolation space at a nearby hotel.
Sophomore Claire Harmon is one of the hundreds of positive cases at U of L and who chose to be placed in the university’s isolation space. Harmon, who has an individualized major in Library Science and Art History, was living at University Pointe when she got the call that she had contracted the coronavirus.
