A college student house held a party over the Labor Day weekend that included people who had recently tested positive for the coronavirus, according to police body camera footage. Oxford police cited six men who attended a house party near Miami University last week for violating the state's mass gathering and quarantine ordinance. Bodycam footage shows an officer arriving at a home near the campus and finding men without masks on the porch. One of the men tells police that 20 people have gathered at the house, twice the amount of people allowed to congregate in Ohio. The officer asks the group to disperse while he runs the ID of one of the residents. The officer questioned why the students weren't practicing a self-imposed quarantine for 14 days, as recommended by state and federal health officials. More than 1,000 Miami University students have tested positive for COVID-19 since classes started this fall. The university is still planning to start in-person classes on Sept. 21. But school officials have warned that students who refuse to take a test in a campus-wide sampling of students will be denied access to campus services and will have to return to remote learning.
