State health officer: COVID-19 outbreak in Oxford linked to fraternity parties

[TexasTowelie]

State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs blames an outbreak of COVID-19 cases in Oxford on fraternity parties.

During Gov. Tate Reeves' coronavirus press conference Thursday, Dobbs said there were 381 news cases and five deaths. He further stated there had been a cluster of cases in Oxford linked to fraternity parties.

Dobbs said it's a violation of the law to have more than 20 people in an enclosed area and 50 people period at gatherings.

"It's clearly not happening," Dobbs said of the 20 people limit at the parties.

The Oxford Eagle is reporting the University of Mississippi Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life issued a warning of social probation for those fraternities caught hosting off-campus parties.
