21 Coronavirus Cases In Massachusetts Linked To College Party

Campus security at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester broke up a party two weeks ago where students weren't wearing masks.

WORCESTER — Worcester officials believe at least 21 new coronavirus cases have stem from an off-campus party held by Holy Cross students two weeks ago.

Earlier this month, the College of the Holy Cross said its public safety officers found a large number of people at the party not wearing masks or practicing social distancing guidelines. "Needless to say, this is a profoundly disappointing situation," the college said in a statement. "The students responsible for the party will be held accountable under our Community Standards process."
