Video of Georgia party shows huge crowd, many maskless 02:12
(CNN)As coronavirus cases among young people continue to spread throughout the country, videos posted to social media show a large gathering near one Georgia college with partiers crowded together and not appearing to wear masks.
The large group of people congregated at an off-campus housing apartment complex near the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega on Saturday night, the university's executive director of communications, Sylvia Carson, told CNN in an emailed statement on Sunday.
Videos posted to social media show dozens of people -- most not wearing masks -- tightly packed together while dancing to music and drinking outside the apartment complex.
There is no statewide mask mandate in the state of Georgia and UNG requires masks only in the university's buildings and facilities.
