PITTSBURGH — Dozens of students were scurrying about in Oakland Tuesday evening, grabbing dinner or an evening coffee to power through late-night studying.
Even with COVID-19 cases at the University of Pittsburgh on the rise, it certainly doesn’t look like a shelter-in-place from the footsteps along Forbes Avenue.
But students said they’re taking this seriously, only leaving their dorms or apartments for class, work or picking up essentials.
Students said with Thanksgiving right around the corner, keeping their loved ones safe is their priority.
But with Carnegie Mellon, Carlow and Pitt all within blocks of each other, and so many students out going to class, studying or picking up essentials -- a shelter-in-place isn’t easy to enforce.
The university told Channel 11 they expect students to make responsible choices, adding:
“The University has been clear that violating guidelines has serious consequences for the health and safety of students, their friends and families, and the greater Pitt community.”
“Students who are found responsible for violating the Health and Safety Guidelines will face conduct sanctions.”
There have been 37 of COVID-19 at the university since Friday.
