The Butler County General Health District has determined that the Miami University student body is suffering a COVID-19 outbreak.
Miami reports 194 known COVID-19 cases among students as of Sept. 1. Of those, 103 cases are students living in dorms.
“We strongly recommend wearing a mask while indoors during this outbreak period, especially in congregant living spaces (e.g. residence halls and fraternity houses) which present a higher risk of transmission,” the university’s COVID Response Team wrote in a campus-wide email.
“We ask that members of our community continue to carry a mask with them and honor an individual’s request to wear a mask in their space (e.g., in a classroom, lab, office, etc.),” the COVID Response Team wrote.
