At least 121 University of Washington students test positive for COVID-19

At least 121 students at the University of Washington in Seattle have tested positive for COVID-19, according to an updated press release from the University of Washington (UW) and Public Health Seattle & King County.

"As of July 5, at least 112 fraternity house residents have tested positive for COVID-19. In total, at least 121 UW students are confirmed to have tested positive in the Greek Row outbreak," the press release said.

The university said the other nine students were close contacts of the residents, but they do not live in the Greek houses north of the Seattle campus.

Last week, the university set up pop-up testing sites for COVID-19 near Greek Row and a total of 1,300 tests have been conducted as of the weekend.
