Higher Education: Enforcing Social Distancing

The Situation

A university student noticed that another student was showing rampant disregard for COVID-19 stay-at-home orders and was attending large gatherings despite having recently traveled to several areas with high infection rates. The university student wanted to help enforce social distancing rules without directly contacting the rule-breaker.

The Solution

The student submitted a tip using the LiveSafe Mobile App, explaining that a fellow student was ignoring campus policies and endangering the community by attending large gatherings.

The Result

University officials were able to contact the student that was breaking social distancing rules in order to enhance campus safety. They also used this knowledge to further communicate the importance of COVID-19 practices to the community

"A CDC study found that nearly one-third of confirmed cases in the U.S. and 20% of those hospitalized are between the ages 20 and 44."
