Surging COVID cases are a major cause for concern at Arizona State University. Some ASU student leaders are now calling for the suspension of in-person learning. Meanwhile, 323 students are being forced to isolate on the Tempe campus, according to ASU's most recent COVID data released on Monday. Another 428 students are positive and quarantining off-campus in the Phoenix metro area. "We are seeing on people's Snapchat stories that they had positive coronavirus tests," said Daniel Lopez, a senior student Senator at ASU. One of those COVID-positive students is sophomore Sophia. "It's been fatigue, congestion, headaches," she said. "The first few days were definitely like the hardest. Right now, I’m doing better. I’m on day six of quarantine."
