Ten days ago on February 16th, UVA reported 229 new cases of COVID-19 in one day. Those 229 cases were 15% of all the new cases that day in the whole state. And as of this morning, UVA is reporting nine hundred and twelve active cases of COVID 19 among its students, faculty, and staff. So it’s safe to say that we are experiencing an outbreak here in Charlottesville. Today on Soundboard we talk about what’s driving that outbreak and what the University is doing about it. And in the second half of the show we sit down with a local organization that’s tackling food justice in Charlottesville and Albemarle. https://cultivatecharlottesville.org https://www.cvilletomorrow.org/articles/uva-relaxing-some-covid-related-restrictions/ https://www.cvilletomorrow.org/articles/uva-officials-address-massive-covid-outbreak/ https://www.cvilletomorrow.org/articles/uva-declines-to-assign-blame-for-covid-spike-but-some-point-fingers-at-fraternity-sorority-recruitment/
