TAMPA, Fl. (WFLA) — Five University of Tampa students are recovering after testing positive for COVID-19 during spring break, the school said.
The university said the students were traveling together and with other University of Tampa students during spring break before testing positive.
The college didn’t say where they went during their break or if they lived on or off campus.
The university did send well wishes to the infected students.
“We sincerely wish our students, and any others who may be affected, a full and rapid recovery,” UT posted on Twitter Saturday night.
The university switched to online classes only on March 17.
