Right now, 14 students are in quarantine on campus and three more are in isolation.
So far, the college says there have been no reports of any employees testing positive.
Contract tracers are currently determining if anybody else may have been exposed.

This means war!
I've lived here for the last 8 years. Last week I was stung/bitten by a yellow jacket while sitting on the small back deck.
I found the underground nest opening at the corner of the deck. We have been slowly cleaning and painting the wood rails. Temp work stoppage.
So, I visited Lowe's for a yellow-jacket trap. Filled it as directed and hung it last night.
I'll be putting out do-it-yourself traps later today. I plan to use a sugar and water mix with vinegar and salt. The vinegar should keep honey bees away from the trap
Help! I love sitting outside with my pup, watching the birds and butterflies.
