More than 100 students living in fraternity houses near the University of Washington campus have reported testing positive for coronavirus, with hundreds of tests from other residents still pending.
At least 105 residents living in 15 different fraternity houses have tested positive, according to the Interfraternity Council, a student-led governing body for fraternities at the university.
University spokesperson Michelle Ma confirmed to The Hill that the university learned Saturday that some residents of the houses had coronavirus symptoms. She said over 1,200 students have been tested since Monday.
The university has verified at least 89 cases of COVID-19 among the fraternity house residents, in addition to four other students who do not live into the houses but came into contact with residents, according to a Friday statement.
