Who helped during the search.
Starting monday... on the university of alabama's campus... some of the restrictions put in place due to high coronavirus cases... will be relaxed.
This comes after the alabama department of public health said the decline in positive cases is a good improvement.
Waay-31s alexis scott spoke with students about how they feel about the changes and what they can expect to see next week.
I spoke to a student who goes to u-a and she told me this semester has been a whirlwind.
She doesn't think the school should be allowing gatherings just yet.... because they've seen a decline in only one week.
Shakyia grooms, senior at ua 1:05-1:15 "i don't think it's the right time.
