LEXINGTON, Va. – As coronavirus cases lead to new restrictions at VMI, there are allegations that COVID protocols are being completely ignored.
Tighter restrictions went into effect Thursday at VMI after the military college reported more than 50 new COVID-19 cases.
An annual tradition at VMI that happened on Saturday is drawing criticism about COVID protocols.
10 News was told dozens of cadets were pulled out of quarantine, given rapid tests and allowed to participate if they tested negative.
VMI said those cadets were supposed to be separated from the rest of the group, with protocols encouraging 10-foot social distancing and wearing masks when not exercising.
