  • University of Illinois COVID-19 complaints and social media reveal how widespread violations were

    The University of Illinois brought an estimated 35,000 students back to campus in August, touting an expansive, saliva-based COVID-19 testing system that university researchers predicted would help limit campus cases to 700 by Thanksgiving break. But even as the testing system, known as SHIELD, drew praise from national media and experts, the number of cases spiked within two weeks and eventually surged to 3,892 cases the Friday students left for the break.  While many students obeyed guidelines that included wearing masks and social distancing, a significant number of students held or attended large parties and social gatherings at Greek houses, dorms and apartments.  At the same time, bars in Campustown, the area around the university, did robust business during the semester.
