In the most unshocking news ever, dozens of spring breakers are now testing positive for the Coronavirus:
DAILY MAIL – Dozens of students from Texas who traveled to Mexico for spring break have tested positive for coronavirus.
The group of 70 individuals journeyed from Austin to Cabo San Lucas on Mexico’s west coast.
Of those, some 28 people have since tested positive for the virus.
Some of the group traveled to and from the country by private jet, while some returned on various commercial flights.
Out of the 28 who have contracted the disease, it appears that four people did not present any symptoms.
The Austin Public Health Department is investigating the cluster of positive COVID-19 cases involving the group.
All 28 students who were confirmed are now self-isolating for the time being while others under the quarantine are being monitored and tested. The Department of State Health Services has been notified of the cases.
It’s not just Texas students…
Meanwhile, five students at the University of Tampa have tested positive for COVID-19 after traveling for their spring break, school officials say.
The college students were traveling together with other UT students, but the school has not specified where they went during their break.
On Friday the university posted that initially one student test positive. Then on Saturday four more students who traveled together for break tested positive.
Three of those students returned to campus after their spring break travels.
Those students are now self-isolating and have not been hospitalized. It’s not clear if those pupils live on or off campus.
These number seem somewhat low to me based on the photos and videos we saw in the last few weeks. It wouldn’t surprise me if many of the cases in Miami were spring-break related.
