LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- In addition to daily COVID-19 symptom screening and testing every three weeks, Georgetown College set aside a dorm for students who tested positive or may have been exposed to the virus. The college is finishing its third week of school on Friday. According to a report by LEX 18, in those three weeks, 85 students were asked to quarantine. Many chose to spend their two weeks in the "quarantine dorm." "We wanted to make sure that there was at least a possibility because it's just not possible for every student to go home," said Dr. Jonathan Sands Wise, Georgetown College's vice president of enrollment management. "There may be someone at home who's greatly a risk ... or maybe they're from abroad. They can't go home. So we needed to have a nice place on campus where students could be cared for, quarantined appropriately and continue to do classes online."That the old, offline dorm seemed like the perfect option for a quarantine area, Wise added. "It's an older dorm that doesn't have central air conditioning, so it's been offline for a while," he said. "We were able to air condition individual rooms within that dorm. So that gave us some rooms that we could use when we needed them to isolate and quarantine students there, and they can't possibly be around other students so it really gives them a space where they can be separated out." Inside the dorm, students are asked to stay in their rooms as much as possible. For those who tested positive, their rooms are in a locked hallway. Those who may have been exposed are allowed to go to a small outdoor area as long as they stay six feet apart. They are also allowed in the hallway to use the restroom and collect food from the front lobby.
