LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Four sororities and one fraternity at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are under quarantine because of confirmed coronavirus cases, the university said Monday.

The five houses each initially reported four of five confirmed cases, which was enough to quarantine the members, The Omaha World-Herald reported. A spokeswoman said it was unclear if the houses have confirmed more cases since the initial cases were diagnosed.

The university requires anyone who has been in close contact with someone with COVID-19 to quarantine for at least 14 days.



The four sororities are Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma. The fraternity is Beta Theta Pi.

The university has reported a total of 197 positive COVID-19 cases as of Sunday.
