In news today…
Active COVID-19 cases at Lee University have dwindled to just three, according to an announcement by university president Dr. Mark Walker.
Walker addressed students in a video emailed to the student body on Wednesday. The 20-minute video announced that Lee’s 14 COVID-19 cases among students have decreased and now stand at three active cases.
During the first week of fall classes, over a dozen students were identified to have COVID-19 and placed in isolation. Walker said none of the students have been severely ill, needed hospitalization or intervention.
Walker also announced to students that fall sports, along with the annual homecoming week in November, will be different this year. Some fall sports will be postponed, he said, and homecoming will take place virtually Nov. 13 through 15.
Walker said the need to continue following precautions and health guidelines is great, even as COVID-19 cases on campus dwindle. As such, large gatherings will remain on hold until restrictions ease.

The Tennessee Department of Health released new guidelines allowing increased visitation and the resumption of certain activities in long-term care facilities, effective October 1.
Under new guidelines, outdoor and limited indoor visitation may be permitted in facilities that have had no new COVID-19 cases in the previous 14 days.
These visits must be scheduled in advance, last no more than 45 minutes, and limited to two visitors.
Outdoor visits may be conducted in an outdoor space with spaced seating of at least six feet apart.
Indoor visits will be limited to designated common spaces allowing for social distancing and disinfection between visitors.
Visitors will only be allowed in a resident’s room if the resident is unable to leave, the visitor has had a negative PCR test collected within the previous 72 hours, or the visitor has a negative onsite test at the facility.
The health department’s new guidelines also allow for the resumption of resident activities — communal dining, small group activities, barber visits, etc. — in facilities that have had no new COVID-19 cases in the previous 14 days.
