Despite coronavirus, college students threw party with 100 people. Police plan crackdown.
After police officers broke up a college party last weekend where at least 100 people gathered, a South Carolina city is working to enforce social-distancing guidelines at private residences amidst the pandemic of COVID-19. Clemson University is becoming involved, too, even off campus and when in-person classes are canceled.
"We obviously had concerns because of the number of people there," Stone told The Greenville News and Anderson Independent Mail."And what we've decided to do in the future is to use our social-host ordinance to address it, if we have gatherings like that in the future."Current guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend no gathering of more than three people to prevent the spread of the highly contagious respiratory virus.
Story continuesOn Wednesday, the university released a message saying officials were made aware of gatherings of students in Clemson and Oconee County over the weekend,"contributing to unsafe conditions in excess of the numbers permissible under current state regulations." City sends letter to student's fatherAfter hearing complaints from residents, Clemson City Attorney Mary McCormac sent a letter to the property owner, who is the father of the college student who lives in the Edgewood Avenue home, according to the letter obtained by The News and Independent Mail.
