‘You have to do something’: Many understanding of mask, social distancing crackdown at UNC
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WNCN) — Chapel Hill leaders have a message for students at UNC-Chapel Hill: follow the rules. Chapel Hill and campus police said they will be enforcing the pandemic rules regarding masks and gatherings.
Many of the university’s 28,000 students already back on campus or returning over the weekend.
“There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding what are classes going to look like. Just today I had another class move online,” freshman Kelly Kendall said.
“It’s going to be weird socially and everyone is going to have to be on their game to stay conscious of who they’re around and how many people they’re seeing,” said a student who declined to give his name.
“It seems like a lot of people — especially living in the dorms on campus — are obeying the rules. I think they’re more cognizant of the risks of living in those spaces,” UNC junior Matt Wallace said.
The video that surfaced Wednesday only adding to the concern. It showed a large number of women not wearing masks or social distancing outside of a house for a sorority event.
