Duke University was one of higher education’s coronavirus success stories in the fall. Less than 1 percent of its students tested positive during the semester, and just before Thanksgiving, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a report on how the university minimized spread, written by Duke scientists.
Now, three weeks into the spring term, the university has had more students test positive than it did all fall — 182, as of Tuesday, compared to 126 in the fall.
