UK and Fayette county

 I have experienced two different sides of Kentucky and Lexington’s success of keeping the pandemic under control. While school was not in session Kentucky was actually one of the States that had the best precautions put in place by the local government that was keeping cases down. Well, when college students (including me) moved back in to Universities like UK, WKU, UofL, EKU, KSU, etc. cases began to rise and are almost exponentially since. 

    We are seeing the effects of this first hand at UK with the notices we have been sent from the University  . They have seen that off campus partying has become very wide spread and have asked members of Fayette County that are not affiliated with the University to send in photos of these parties so campus authorities can crack down on the people who are attending and hosting this parties that are causing cases to rise heavily. The university has even threatened to expel students caught at parties by Law Enforcement. I have even heard of some people I know coming in face to face contact with police officers while they were out. This definitely does scare some into staying in. 

    It is very important for these college campuses to keep things maintained as best they can because not only does it affect the University, but it affects the state and counties that the college is within severely as well.
