The university’s main campus in Tuscaloosa registered 531 infections between students, faculty and staff, according to updated data posted on the school’s website.
The new cases do not include entry testing, which at the main campus found 310 positive cases among its nearly 30,000 students.
Despite the increase in numbers over a four day period since classes started, UA president Stuart Bell said student behavior was not to blame.
“Our challenge is not the students,” Bell said earlier Monday, according to Al.com. “Our challenge is the virus and there’s a difference, folks.”
Added Bell: “What we have to do is identify where does the virus thrive and where does the virus spread and how can we work together with our students, with our faculty and with our staff to make sure that we minimize those places, those incidents.”
The spike in cases comes as the City of Tuscaloosa on Monday announced the closure of bars for the next two weeks, the outlet reported.
