Many college students across the country are now back in their dorms after winter break on the heels of a December where the Philadelphia region faced its deadliest days of the COVID-19 outbreak.
In order to mitigate the spread of the virus, many area colleges required students to test negative for COVID-19 before they could move back into their residence halls and attend in-person classes. At Neumann University in Delaware County, 475 students opted to return to campus this semester amid public health concerns.
