The police stopped the party which was taking place at the Miami University student's home in Oxford, Ohio. An officer ran the young man's details and found that he had tested positive for the virus on August 31. He should have been in the middle of his quarantine period.

When asked why he was hosting a party when he should be in quarantine, he said, "Yeah that's why I'm at my house."

Are you face-palming yet? No? Just me? Okay.

The student went on to say that eight out of the 20 people present lived at the house.

He added: "Everyone in the house has COVID-19 and two people across the street have COVID-19."

The cops evacuated the house but it is still unsure whether the guests were aware of the fact that people in the house had coronavirus.

6 students aged 20 to 21 were fined $500 (Rs 36,738) and everyone has been told to get tested.

Lieutenant Lara Fening at the Oxford Police Department told Local 12: "This particular case is egregious, but I think for the most part, by in large, the students have been very well behaved. The way I interpreted the video from the bodycam footage was - he felt like he was at home and quarantining like he was supposed to be and that the majority of the people that were at the house had passed by and stopped by."

She said, "Some residents came over from across the street that were reportedly COVID-positive as well. We do not know if anybody else at that party was aware of the COVID-positive residents because some of them left while the officer was there."

She added, "We want to stay safe; we want to be healthy; we want everyone around us to be healthy; we want this town to be thriving; we don't want this town to be shut down again. We want the underclassmen to come back."
