Among 140 infected students who were interviewed, 89 recently traveled for spring break, and 57 said they attended an unmasked indoor social gathering.
In response to the cluster of cases, the university implemented a stay-at-home order for all students living on campus, prohibited gatherings and shifted to remote learning, the agency said. The stay-at-home order was lifted two weeks later after additional testing found few new cases.
The CDC said the campus outbreak illustrates the importance of masking indoors and avoiding travel, particularly for those who are unvaccinated, amid the spread of the fast-moving delta variant. The new report comes a day before the start of Labor Day weekend, when many families across the U.S. travel and more schools prepare to begin their fall semester.against traveling over the holiday as the nation continues to battle back a surge in Covid cases and hospitalizations fueled by the highly contagious delta variant.
"Labor Day weekend does pose a major risk as people swarm back to work and to school," said Lawrence Gostin, director of the World Health Organization's Collaborating Center on National and Global Health Law.
