BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Coronavirus prep got a little out of hand at Western Washington University this weekend.

The University’s Vice President for Enrollment Services says hand sanitizer gel was stolen from dispensers in several buildings on the Bellingham campus.

She says they currently don’t have enough stock on hand to refill them, but replacements are on the way.

Western also issued a travel advisory, encouraging students to think carefully about spring break travel plans and to stay up-to-date on any CDC travel advisories.
