More than half a dozen LIU students have tested positive for COVID-19. 


According to the university's website, seven cases were reported Sunday at the Post campus in Brookville.


In a letter to parents obtained by News 12, university officials warned the LIU community, which consists of campuses on Long Island and in Brooklyn, that 14 students - including several athletes -  contracted the virus.


The letter did not specify which campus the individuals attended, but did say they were all linked to off-campus gatherings.
