Staph infection surfaces at Augusta State University - WRDW
The serious staph infection MRSA has hit close to home at Augusta State University. The school is now speaking out. "It's kinda scary," said student Trevor Bochardt. The school sent out emails yesterday notifying students that one of its students has MRSA, the more serious form of staph infection. That student reportedly waited a week and a half before coming forward. "I don't think that person should come back to school until it is fully gone, or maybe they should just do online classes for a little while," Bochardt said. Charlotte Price is chair of the nursing department at ASU. She told News 12, "I wouldn't say if you have MRSA you must do online learning any more than someone who has a cold or an allergy."
