The request comes as Drake is dealing with 255 confirmed cases of the virus and 500 pending tests, according to a letter from university President Marty Martin to students. As of Wednesday, 75 of those cases were students living in university housing. Officials hope the move will make room for students who are sick or need to isolate and help limit the spread of the virus.
